At least 38 people, including many children are feared dead after one of the hundreds of overcrowded vessels carrying civilians fleeing insecurity in Cabo Delgado Province, Mozambique, sank last week.
Details of the tragedy, which reportedly happened on 29 October, only surfaced after survivors began arriving in the provincial capital Pemba, and informed volunteer aid workers about their ordeal.
At least 70 people were believed to be aboard the vessel.
