NAIROBI (Reuters) – More than 100 migrants are missing after smugglers forced them to jump into the sea off of Djibouti’s coast, the U.N. migration agency said on Wednesday.

The two boats left Yemen for Djibouti with a total of 310 passengers on board, the International Organization for Migration said, adding that at least 45 bodies had been recovered and 154 people rescued.
