민주콩고 '키부' 호수서 정원초과 페리 전복 최소 78명 사망
We start in the Democratic Republic of Congo were at least 78 people have died after a ferry on Lake Kivu capsized.
The ferry was carrying 278 people when it capsized on Thursday morning, local time, of which at least 58 people have been rescued
According to South Kivu's governor, Jean Jacques Purisi on Thursday, the death toll may increase, as he said that “It’ll take at least three days to get the exact numbers, because not all the bodies have been found yet."
The boat was traveling from Minova in South Kivu province to Goma in North Kivu province.
But overloaded with passengers, it capsized and sank only some 100 meters away from its destination.
Recently, many more are crossing Lake Kivu by boat to reach Goma to avoid land travel, as the region in the east of the country is prone to armed conflict between rebels and the Congolese government forces.
While Thursday's Lake Kivu accident saw a high death toll, such incidents as such are commonplace in the central African country, where overcrowded boats are often to blame.
