At least 193 people died in two boat accidents in northwestern DRC this week. A boat with nearly 500 passengers capsized after catching fire, while another accident involved a motorised boat that sank, killing 86, mostly students. Improper loading and night navigation were cited as causes. River transport is crucial in the region, but accidents are frequent due to overloaded vessels and lack of safety equipment.
