Kinshasa, DR Congo – At least 28 bodies have been recovered from the Congo river, while dozens more people were reported missing after a boat sank in northwest DR Congo, provincial authorities said Sunday.
“Dozens of people are still missing and the search is continuing,” Chrispin Mputu, interior minister for the Equateur province, told AFP, confirming the tdeath toll. “Up to now, around 100 people are reported missing,” he said, adding that “between 20 to 30 survivors still at the port, they have lost everything”.
The vast Central African nation has few practicable roads, so travel often occurs on lakes, the Congo River and its tributaries, where shipwrecks are frequent and the toll often heavy.
