Al menos 50 muertos en el naufragio de una barcaza con cientos de personas a bordo en República Centroafricana

Al menos 50 personas han muerto en el naufragio este pasado viernes de una barcaza con cientos de personas a bordo en el río Mpoko, en República Centroafricana.

La barcaza de madera acababa de partir hacia la localidad de Mokelo, en el sur del país, cuando comenzó a deshacerse en mitad del río con más de 300 ocupantes, informa el medio centroafricano Corbeau News.

El director general de Protección Civil, Thomas Djimasse, ha estimado que “alrededor de cincuenta cadáveres” han sido recuperados tras el hundimiento del barco naufragado en lo que describe como una “evaluación provisional” pendiente de más actualizaciones, según declaraciones recogidas por Radio Guira, la emisora de la misión de paz de la ONU en el país.
