Lake Kariba boat crash victims reach 72
Zimbabwe Police announced that the death toll from the overcrowded boat accident on Lake Kariba has risen to 72, following the retrieval of 22 additional bodies from the water. The incident occurred last Tuesday when the boat capsized due to bad weather, high waves, and water leakage, despite carrying over 119 people onboard, while its permitted capacity was only 90. Rescue teams managed to save 77 individuals, and it is believed that there are an unspecified number of missing persons. The boat was en route from Kariba to rural areas where transportation infrastructure is suffering from decline.
