20 Dead in Overcrowded Boat Sinking in DR Congo
At least 20 people, including a baby, have died after an overcrowded boat sank on the Lukenie River in the Western Democratic Republic of Congo over the weekend. The incident occurred overnight from Saturday to Sunday as the motorized wooden vessel, carrying approximately 300 people and cargo, struck debris while en route to Nioki, according to Kutu district administrator Jacques Nzenza.

This tragedy follows a similar incident in July, where 25 people died in a boat sinking on the Congo River, and a 2019 disaster on Lake Kivu that claimed around 100 lives.
