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

A 1-year-old child died and 23 people are missing and feared dead after a hippopotamus charged into and capsized a canoe carrying 37 people across the Shire River in southern Malawi. Malawian police rescued 13 with the help of World Food Program personnel who were working in the area and provided boats for the rescue operation. The people were feared dead because the search had been going on for more than 24 hours. Malawian President Lazarus Chakwera sent Minister of Water and Sanitation Abida Mia to the scene.
