Fox News
98 people have been confirmed dead in the Sunday sinking of an overcrowded ferry off the coast of Mozambique. An estimated 130 people were aboard the vessel.
Most of the dead were recovered Sunday, but an additional seven bodies were found Monday, bringing the death toll from 91 to 98, the Noticias newspaper quoted Nauaito as saying.
Maritime authorities continued to search for additional survivors, Nauaito told the radio station, adding that "it is not easy to say with precision how many remain missing." Government officials were heading to the accident site Monday to get more precise information, he said.
