A makeshift ferry sank off Mozambique's northern coast on Sunday, killing more than 90 people, including children, local media reported.
The overloaded boat was carrying 130 people and most of the drowned victims were children, according to TV Diário Nampula, a local online media outlet. The boat was operating between Lunga and the island of Mozambique in Nampula province in the north of the country when it capsized, according to witnesses.
Rescue operations continued on Monday, with people still missing.
Some people were traveling to attend a fair while others were trying to "flee from Lunga to the island of Mozambique for fear of being contaminated by cholera, which has affected this region in recent days", reported TV Diario Nampula.
Other reports cited Jaime Neto, the secretary of state for Nampula province, who said misinformation about a suspected cholera outbreak caused panic and boarded the boat, which usually serves as a fishing boat, in an attempt to escape.
In recent months, Mozambique and neighboring southern African countries Zimbabwe and Malawi have been hit by a deadly cholera outbreak that authorities are working to contain.
Many areas of Mozambique are only accessible by boat, which is often overcrowded. The country has a poor road network and some areas are inaccessible by land or air.
The tragic sinking of a makeshift ferry off Mozambique's northern coast claimed over 90 lives, including many children. Overcrowded and overloaded, the boat capsized during a journey between Lunga and Mozambique Island. Misinformation about cholera outbreak fueled panic, highlighting the dire need for improved transportation safety and access to essential services in the region.

The leader of the Afghan Taliban issues a statement in 7 languages after an audio recording and flogging and stoning of women and men
On Saturday, in a statement, the leader of the Afghan Taliban movement, Hibatullah Akhundzada, called on officials in the movement to put aside their differences and devote themselves to serving their country, as Eid al-Fitr approaches.
It seems that public opposition within the Taliban is unlikely, but some leaders in the movement have shown dissatisfaction with decisions taken by the leadership, especially the ban on female education.
Akhundzada, a reclusive leader who rarely leaves the Taliban stronghold in Kandahar province in the south of the country, and never appears in public, has played a major role in imposing restrictions on women and girls, sparking international outrage and isolating the Taliban on the global stage.
Akhundzada's message was distributed in seven languages, including Uzbek and Turkmen, and is an attempt by the Taliban to court the rich Central Asian countries for investment, and to give legitimacy to the country's rule.
