Dozens of people were killed in the Central African Republic after the ferry they were on overturned near a river in the capital, Bangui.
The ferry overturned a few minutes after it set sail for the funeral of a local chief. There were approximately 100 people on board: "So far we have managed to remove 58 lifeless bodies from the river," said a member of the rescue forces. The rescuers arrived at the scene about 40 minutes after the incident. The injured were taken to the hospital for further treatment.
