A home-made aluminium boat carrying 16 Cuban migrants floats offshore in Grand Cayman island

A home-made aluminium boat carrying 16 Cuban migrants floats anchored while seeking what they said was refuge from rough seas, in Grand Cayman island August 28, 2014. Local law enforcement would not allow the migrants to receive drinking water, food or supplies from well-wishers onshore, before ordering the group to depart the British territory or be taken into custody and repatriated to Cuba. The boat’s captain said the passengers – 11 men and five women – had been at sea for five days since leaving eastern Cuba. REUTERS/Peter Polack (CAYMAN ISLANDS – Tags: SOCIETY)
