At least 12 people are dead and dozens are missing after an overloaded boat capsized on Lake Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The vessel, carrying more than 50 passengers, fish traders, and goods from Idjwi Island to Boza, overturned in an area where water transport is vital but safety measures like lifejackets are frequently ignored. Survivors and villagers have joined ongoing rescue and recovery efforts as authorities search for the unaccounted-for passengers.
