WORLD BRIEFING / YEMEN
Hundreds of people are missing and feared dead after three boats carrying about 400 migrants from Somalia capsized near Yemen, a U.N. official said.
At least a dozen bodies washed ashore in Yemen, said Laila Nassif, who heads the United Nations High Commissioner’s Office for Refugees office in the coastal city of Aden.
Nassif said two boats carrying about 300 migrants capsized in the Red Sea. In another incident, a boat carrying 120 migrants capsized in the Arabian Sea.
All of the ships sailed from Somalia, the U.N. official said.
