At least 30 people are now known to have perished after Tuesday’s double boat tragedy (29 January 2019) off the coast of Djibouti.

International Organisation for Migration (IOM) staff, based in Obock, on Djibouti’s Red Sea coast, reported on Wednesday, 30 January 2019, that a total of 16 survivors have been recovered from the sea tragedy.

There are fears the death toll could climb after over 300 went missing after two boats capsized off Djibouti's Red Sea coast.
