Death toll from Zimbabwe capsized ferry accident rises to 80
Rescue workers recovered eight more bodies on Sunday following a ferry capsizing accident that occurred on Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe, bringing the death toll to at least 80, according to France 24. The search continues, as authorities fear the number of casualties could rise even further.
There is also news of a different disaster, an earthquake that struck Flores Island, Indonesia. According to Mothership, the death toll from this earthquake has increased to 47, with 50 people injured. However, Hindustan Times reports a slightly higher death toll of 51, with 101 people injured.
The two disasters appear to be unrelated, with the ferry accident occurring in Zimbabwe and the earthquake occurring in Indonesia. The search and rescue efforts are ongoing in both cases, with authorities working to recover bodies and provide aid to those affected.
