UNHCR: Boat with 45 refugees capsizes off Yemen's coast

A boat with at least 45 refugees has capsized off the coast of Yemen's Taiz on Wednesday night, and there are only four survivors, the UN refugee agency in Yemen said on Thursday.

The boat capsized because of strong winds and overloading, the agency added. It said it was working with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to assist the survivors and provide protection.

No further details were provided about the rest of the refugees.
