“More than 90 people have died after a ferry sank off the north coast of Mozambique, local authorities say,” according to BBC April 7, 2024. A boat tragedy in Nampula province has left 12 survivors out of 130 people believed to have been on board. The boat was travelling from Lunga to Mozambique Island, off the coast of Nampula, when it sank after taking on water. Rescue efforts are ongoing, and authorities blamed the shipwreck on overcrowding. The cholera outbreak has been the worst in 25 years in southern Africa, with 13,700 confirmed cases and 30 deaths since October 2023.
