[Regnum] More than 90 people have died after a fishing boat sank off the coast of Mozambique.agency reported this on April 7.

As Nampula Provincial Secretary of State Jamie Neto said, the homemade boat was not intended to transport people. Neto said that there were about 130 people on the ship, and it was heading to a small island off the coast of Mozambique.

Rescuers found five survivors; the search and rescue operation continues, but it is complicated by weather conditions. The Nampula provincial secretary of state noted that many children were among the dead. The exact number of victims is being established, and an investigation team is working at the scene. The circumstances of the shipwreck are being determined.

According to Neto, people tried to leave the country, panicked by misinformation about the cholera epidemic. Mozambique has recorded almost 15,000 cases of the disease and 32 deaths since October 2023.

Nampula is the worst-affected region, accounting for a third of all detected cases.

Earlier, IA Regnum reported that as a result of the collapse of a bridge in Baltimore in the eastern United States, according to preliminary information, at least six people working on the structure at that time were killed.

According to the US Coast Guard, the Singapore-flagged cargo ship Dali crashed into the bridge on March 26 at 1:27 local time (8:27 Moscow time). As a result of the bridge collapse, up to 20 people could have fallen into the water.
