Hippo attack on Malawi river boat leaves death and missing.

A one-year-old boy has died and 23 people are missing after a hippo hit their boat, capsizing it in Malawi's biggest river, Shire. The boat was packed with villagers who were crossing the river to work in their fields. A total of 14 people managed to swim to safety or were rescued by other villagers who dived into the river to help. The accident occurred in the remote Nsanje district in southern Malawi, near the border with Mozambique. The Shire River is home to many hippos and crocodiles, and boats and canoes are often overcrowded or poorly maintained.
