RESCUERS have retrieved 37 bodies, including at least 12 children, and are searching for scores of people missing after an overcrowded ferry sank in a river along the Bangladesh coast, police said yesterday.
They said the ferry M.V. Coco-4 was sailing to the coastal town of Bhola, some 300 kilometers from Dhaka, on Friday night with around 1,500 people on board - about three times the number it was registered to carry.
Elsewhere, at least 73 people were killed and others are missing after a logging boat sank in a lake in western Democratic Republic of Congo, a Red Cross official said yesterday.
The boat sank in bad weather and had been transporting logs with no authorization to take on passengers, Radio Okapi said.
