Hippo capsizes boat in Malawi, leaving one dead and 23 missing.

A one-year-old child died and 23 people were missing and feared dead after a hippopotamus charged into and capsized a canoe on the Shire River in southern Malawi. Malawian police rescued 13 people, and the search mission to locate the missing individuals is currently underway. Boat accidents are common in Malawi, where the lack of regular water transport forces many to cross lakes and rivers in sometimes-rickety boats, in the absence of regulations.
