A rescue operation is under way in the Bahamas, after a 12m (40ft) vessel carrying Haitian migrants ran aground and capsized.
The US Coast Guard said about 100 migrants were clinging to the hull of the overturned boat.
At least 10 people are reported to have died in the accident, which took place on Monday near Staniel Cay.
Haitian migrants often head to the Bahamas or pass by on their way to the United States.
The US Coast Guard and the Royal Bahamian Defense Force were at the scene.
