A flash flood on the Spanish island of Majorca has killed at least 10 people, including at least three foreigners.
A wave of muddy water engulfed the town of Sant Llorenç des Cardassar, in the east of the island, after heavy rain caused a river to burst its banks.
Vehicles were swept away as water gushed through narrow streets.
Hundreds of emergency workers and sniffer dogs are involved in the search-and-rescue effort. A five-year-old child is missing.
Who are the victims?
The dead include six Spanish nationals, a Dutch tourist, a British couple and one unidentified victim.
