A passenger boat has capsized off the Kenyan coast, killing at least seven people and leaving more than two dozen missing, aid workers and officials say.
The authorities are looking for survivors, but a high tide is hampering rescue efforts. Some 70 passengers are believed to have been on board.
Some 25 people have been rescued and 23 managed to swim to shore, the Red Cross says.
The boat capsized near the resort town of Lamu near the border with Somalia.
The boat was going to Mokowe, ferrying passengers to get a bus to Mombasa, a senior policeman told the BBC’s Network Africa programme.
