221 missing after Sierra Leone boat capsizes
Quote:
FREETOWN, Sierra Leone – More than 200 people including many schoolchildren returning from holidays remained missing Thursday, a day after a wooden boat capsized at sea and left at least eight dead, police said.
Some 39 passengers have been rescued so far off the coast of the West African nation, police official Ibrahim Samura said.
At least 221 people remain missing and some of the passengers also were traveling with young children, Samura said.
"Most of the passengers were school-going children returning from holidays," Samura said.
The boat was traveling from the village of Shenge to Tombo, near Freetown, when the accident occurred Wednesday.
