Tragedy Strikes as Makeshift Ferry Sinks, Claiming Nearly 100 Lives off Mozambique

A makeshift ferry sank off Mozambique's northern coast, resulting in the deaths of almost 100 people, including children, with dozens more missing. The overcrowded fishing boat, not licensed to transport people, was carrying about 130 individuals, some of whom were fleeing a cholera outbreak. Misinformation about the outbreak caused panic, leading people to board the boat. The region has been battling a deadly cholera outbreak, and many areas are only accessible by overcrowded boats due to poor road networks.
