Over 180 migrants feared dead after shipwrecks off Yemen's coast, U.N. migration agency says

At least two people have died and 186 others are missing after four boats carrying migrants from Africa capsized overnight in waters off Yemen and Djibouti, the U.N.'s migration agency said on Friday.

Two vessels capsized off Yemen late Thursday, said Tamim Eleian, a spokesperson for the International Organization for Migration, or IOM. Two crewmembers were rescued, but 181 migrants and five Yemeni crewmembers remain missing, he told The Associated Press. At least 124 men and 57 women were on board, the news statement said. 

Yemen's Civil Aviation and Meteorology Authority had advised against travel due to strong winds and high waves, which the IOM said smugglers ignored.
