Boat disaster: Uganda recovers 107 bodies
Uganda yesterday said it has recovered 107 bodies, including 57 children, after a boat capsized at the weekend on Lake Albert, on the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The boat, which was packed with refugees from the DRC hoping to return home from a camp in Uganda, was believed to have been carrying up to 250 people when it overturned on Saturday.
"The exact number of passengers on board has yet to be established," Uganda's Refugees Minister Hillary Onek told reporters.
