At least 68 migrants have died after a vote with about 157 people on board sank off the coast of Yemen in bad weather.
Yemen's chief for the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said the vessel capsized off the southern province of Abyan on Sunday.
Twelve people had been rescued but dozens are still missing. Most of the victims are believed to be Ethiopian nationals.
Yemen is a major pathway for migrants from the Horn of Africa travelling to Gulf states in search of work.
The IOM estimates that hundreds have died or gone missing in shipwrecks in recent months.
