Lake Victoria Uganda - Kenya: Deadly boat accident near Slum Island

LAKE VICTORIA: -- At least 30 people feared dead after a boat capsized in Lake Victoria around 2 am Wednesday morning.
A boat with estimated 200 capsized in Lake Victoria. So far 3 bodies were recovered.


Reports indicate that the Lake Victoria tragedy involved two boats. A rescue mission is underway.

The accident happened near Remba, a tiny island in the middle of Lake Victoria, is known as "Slum Island".

A few thousand people, mainly fishermen, make their home on this busy outpost on the border between Uganda and Kenya. One-room shacks are the norm here, and the fishermen almost literally live on top of each other: they share shacks, with one group sleeping in the day while the other fishes, and then they swap at night.
