Bangkok--The International Organization for Migration called on Southeast Asian governments Tuesday to find and rescue thousands of migrants who are believed to be stranded at sea and at risk of death.
"It needs a regional effort... we don't have the capacity to search for them, but governments do, they have boats and satellites," IOM spokesman Joe Lowry told AFP, adding they may be in a "very bad condition or even dead" if not found soon.
