Ten migrants from the Comoros, including a seven-year-old child, have drowned while trying to make their way to the island of Mayotte – a French territory in the Indian Ocean.
Police said their bodies were found washed up on the beach, with their boat appearing to have capsized in a strong swell.
Rescuers picked up survivors perched on coral reefs.
Mayotte has seen an influx of migrants from neighbouring countries.
