A Congolese barge capsized on the Sankuru River, leaving 64 missing and 56 survivors, amid ongoing search efforts.
A barge capsized on the Sankuru River in central Democratic Republic of the Congo on Monday, leaving 64 people missing and 56 survivors, according to local officials.
The vessel, carrying about 120 passengers from Bena Dibele to Kinshasa, likely overturned due to strong currents and whirlpools.
Overcrowding, lack of safety equipment, and nighttime travel are common factors in frequent river accidents across the DRC, where poor road infrastructure forces reliance on aging wooden boats.
This follows a September incident in northwestern Congo that killed at least 193 people.
Search efforts continue.
