People are feared to have died after a small migrant boat ran into difficulties in the English Channel.
The major search and rescue operation was launched in UK waters in freezing conditions after reports of an incident at about 03:40 GMT.
The coastguard, the French Navy and an air ambulance were sent to help.
A fishing boat, which was also in the area, helped with the rescue.
The Ministry of Defence said it was aware of the incident and agencies were supporting the coordinated response.
