Latest updates from Zanzibar reveal that 31 people have been
confirmed dead. According to a journalist who attended the scene 13 of the
discovered bodies had been identified and will be ready for burial tomorrow.
He also confirmed that according to eyewitnesses who are
survivors of the accident, the boat capsized after it was hit by strong winds
and they also blamed it on speed.
They said the boat was sailing at high speed and this might
have contributed to it capsizing.
Meanwhile, according to him, the rescuing operation has been
stopped because the rescuers lack equipment that enables them to work in
darkness.
He also said that among the 31 dead bodies, one is of a
visitor while the rest are presumed to be Tanzanians.
The rescue operation will continue tomorrow though chances
of finding survivors are diminishing.
