MORONI (AFP) - Rescuers on Tuesday found a child survivor of a Yemeni airliner that crashed off the coast of the Indian Ocean archipelago of Comoros, a hospital official said.

"A child was found alive. He is now on a rescuers' boat," said Ben Imani, a doctor at Moroni's main hospital told AFP.

A Comoros Red Cross official confirmed the rescue.

"We have all that is needed -- drips, equipment -- to assist the child immediately," said Al fachad Salim.

It was not immediately clear if the child was the same survivor reported earlier in Sanaa by a Yemenia airline official.
