According to local media, the passengers aboard the ill-fated vessel were fleeing a cholera outbreak, embarking on a journey from Lunga to Mozambique Island, situated off the coast of Nampula.

A spokesperson for the island administration disclosed that the fishing boat was designed to accommodate a maximum of 100 passengers. However, it tragically carried around 130 individuals.

Citing a representative of the maritime authority, the AIM news agency reported that the vessel likely succumbed to the force of high waves, resulting in its wreck.

Mozambique is currently grappling with its most extensive cholera outbreak in the last 25 years, as noted by the UN’s children’s relief organization, UNICEF. Since the outbreak commenced in September 2022, over 37,000 cases have been reported, further exacerbating the challenges faced by the affected populace.
