Zimbabwe ferry disaster death toll reaches 80
The death toll from the sinking of a ferry on Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe has risen to 80 after the recovery of 8 bodies, bringing the previous total to 72. The accident occurred when the overloaded ferry capsized due to bad weather and turbulent waters. The ferry was carrying more than its permitted capacity—around 157 people, including passengers and crew—most of whom were villagers and fish traders in the area. This incident is one of the deadliest in the country's history. The ferry is the main means of transportation for rural communities traveling to the city. The toll comes after several days of rescue and recovery operations.
