The UNHCR said in a statement that several others were still missing as smuggling resumed earlier than usual due to calmer weather in the Gulf of Aden.
"Survivors said the boat carrying about 120 people stopped offshore in deep water on Tuesday and all passengers were forced overboard at gunpoint," said the UN agency.
"They said those who refused were pushed and beaten. Some were killed. Survivors said they had earlier been assured by the smugglers that a smaller vessel would take them ashore, but none arrived."
