Thirty-seven bodies have been recovered after another boat sinking in the Democratic Republic of Congo, officials said Tuesday, a week after a vessel capsized with nearly 130 people on board.
Sixteen survivors were found near the spot where the boat sunk on a river in the country's east on April 9, acting governor Papy Omeonga Tchopa of Maniema province told AFP on Tuesday.
"We found and buried 37 bodies."
Tchopa added that the suspected causes included "a drunk skipper, travelling at night and overloading."
