They're not just "missing" they are dead. They haven't been just "forced of the boat", they have been murdered.

Forty-eight people have so far been confirmed dead after the incident on Monday, which involved two boats that had left Yemen for Djibouti with a total of 310 people onboard, said Frantz Celestin, a regional director at the UN agency. “Unfortunately, we have yet to account for about 108 of the migrants,” he said.

[...]

One boat was carrying 100 people, of whom 99 survived, while the other had 210.

Let's hope some more made it to shore and just didn't stick around, but the second boat has 47 confirmed dead already.
