At least 145 passengers are missing after a motorized boat overloaded with goods and animals sank overnight in a river in the northwestern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
About 55 people survived the disaster.
The boat was heading for neighbouring Republic of Congo when it capsized on the Lulonga River on Tuesday night near the town of Basankusu.
Jean-Pierre Wangela, president of civil society groups in the region, told reporters that at least 145 people were missing.
