“At least 22 people died off the coast of Madagascar when their boat sank on its way to the French island of Mayotte,” Madagascar’s Maritime and River Port Agency said in a statement.
The boat was carrying 47 people when it capsized off Ankazomborona, a town in northwestern Madagascar on Saturday, according to the statement.
Twenty-five passengers were rescued, and two others are still missing, the statement noted. (ILKHA)
