The International Organization for Migration said that 13 people were killed and 14 are still missing after a boat capsized near Yemen on Tuesday.

IOM reported that the boat carrying 25 Ethiopians, two Yemenis and two Yemenis was sailing off the coast in Yemen's Taiz Governorate, southwest.

Eleven men and two woman were found dead along the Bab al-Mandab Strait, one of the most important sea routes in the world for commodity shipping.

The report said that search operations would continue in order to locate those still missing. This included the Yemeni Captain and his Assistant. It was not clear why the vessel had sunk.

In July, there are a number of events that you can look forward to.
