  "account": "Authorities in Zimbabwe continued to search for more bodies from a capsized ferry on Lake Kariba last week, as the death toll rose to 84, the AP reported. The disaster management agency stated that 77 individuals were rescued, while estimates suggested the passenger count may have been even higher than initially reported. The over-loaded ferry capsized in strong waves on Tuesday, traveling from the town of Kariba to rural and fishing communities. Among the dead were 18 children, with the youngest just 1 year old, and 16 of the victims were aged 10 or younger.",
