A tragic incident unfolded on the Busira River in northeastern Congo as a ferry, overloaded with people returning home for Christmas, capsized. The disaster has resulted in the confirmed deaths of 38 individuals, with over 100 others still missing. So far, 20 survivors have been rescued from the wreckage.
This devastating event occurred less than a week after another boat capsized in the same region, claiming the lives of 25 people. The ferry was part of a convoy of vessels, carrying primarily merchants heading home for the holidays, according to local officials.
