Dozens of Ethiopians die after boat capsizes off Djibouti coast

At least 33 Ethiopian migrants - including an eight-year-old boy - have died after their boat capsized off the coast of Djibouti.
 
UN's migration agency said they were among 77 people crossing the Red Sea from Yemen to Ethiopia.
 
Fishermen alerted coastguards to the tragedy on Tuesday after witnessing some of the migrants drowning.
 
Rescuers managed to save more than 20 people but others remain missing.
 
The survivors have since been repatriated to Ethiopia.
