The vessel, carrying Ethiopian and Yemeni nationals, sank near the Dubab district, highlighting the dangers faced by migrants on this route.

The boat departed from Djibouti carrying 25 Ethiopian migrants and two Yemeni nationals.
Bodies of 11 men and two women have been recovered; search operations for the missing continue.
The cause of the shipwreck remains unclear, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
