A tragic ferry accident off the north coast of Mozambique has resulted in the deaths of at least 96 individuals, including children, with 26 still missing and 5 rescued. The overcrowded makeshift ferry, carrying about 130 passengers, capsized as it was en route from Lunga to Mozambique Island. The passengers were reportedly fleeing a cholera outbreak in Nampula province, which has been ongoing since October 2023. The vessel, described as unlicensed and unsuitable for passengers, faced rough seas, complicating rescue efforts. Authorities are now calling for an investigation into the causes of the sinking and the misinformation about the cholera outbreak that led to widespread panic.
