At least 54 migrants have died when a boat carrying about 150 people sank off the coast of Yemen due to bad weather on Sunday, while dozens more have yet to be found, health officials said.

The boat capsized near the Ahwar district in Yemen's southern Abyan province in the Arabian Sea, security sources said.

Abdul Qadir Bajameel, a provincial health official, said 10 of the 150 or so people on board were rescued - nine Ethiopians and one Yemeni - but dozens remained missing. Two doctors said rescue teams were still searching for survivors.

The International Organization for Migration says Yemen continues to experience a significant increase in the flow of irregular migrants coming from Africa.

Migrants cross the Bab al-Mandab strait that separates Djibouti and Eritrea from Yemen every year in weak boats in the hope of reaching Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries in the hope of finding work.

The IOM describes the route from the Horn of Africa to Yemen as "one of the busiest and most dangerous mixed migration routes in the world". The arrival of more than 60,000 migrants in Yemen last year was reportedly recorded.
