Mozambique Shipwreck Kills Some 100 People, Including Children
--------------------------------------------------------------

About 100 people were killed, including children, after an overcrowded
makeshift ferry sank off the northern coast of Mozambique. Some 20
others are still missing. The group of 130 people had fled from Nampula,
on mainland Mozambique, reportedly after hearing news of a cholera
outbreak. Mozambique authorities blamed their deaths on the spread of
misinformation about the spread of the disease.
