A senior Congolese official says a boat capsized in Congo’s northwest killing at least 27 people
A boat capsized in Congo’s northwest killing at least 27 people, and more than 70 others were missing, a senior government official said Saturday as rescuers searched frantically for survivors.
“Already 27 bodies of victims have been removed from the waters transported to the morgue of the general hospital in Mbandaka,” said Nganzi, adding that an investigation to find out the cause of the accident had begun. The contradictory death tolls, which is common in such incidents in Congo, could not immediately be reconciled.
“We are supervising the search for bodies with the river services and accompanied by the victims’ families,” said Nganzi.
