At least four migrants have died and around 20 are missing after their boat capsized off the coast of the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean, local authorities announced on Friday.
17 people have been rescued from the boat, which had about 40 people on board and was heading towards the US territory of Puerto Rico.
Among the rescued are both Dominicans and Haitians.
Migrants pay as much as 7,000 dollars, equivalent to about 67,000 kronor, for the dangerous journey to Puerto Rico from the Dominican Republic.
