A devastating boat fire and capsizing on the Congo River has tragically claimed 148 lives, with over 100 people still missing.
The wooden vessel, carrying approximately 500 passengers, caught fire due to an onboard cooking accident, leading to the disaster.
Many passengers perished jumping into the river, while survivors suffered severe burns and are now in dire need of aid.
Rescue efforts, involving local authorities and the Red Cross, are ongoing, but the scale of the tragedy remains immense.
