The death toll from a ferry capsizing on Zimbabwe’s Lake Kariba has risen to 68 following the recovery of twenty-two more bodies on Saturday. The ferry overturned on Tuesday amidst heavy winds, and authorities believe it was dangerously overloaded. Tragically, 18 of the deceased are children. The incident occurred on the lake, which forms the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia. Investigations are underway to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the disaster and assess potential culpability. This latest recovery brings the total confirmed fatalities to sixty-eight, making it one of Zimbabwe’s worst boating accidents in recent years. Rescue efforts are ongoing, although hopes of finding further survivors are dwindling.
