2014 Lake Albert boat disaster
On March 22, 2014, a boat traveling on Africa's Lake Albert capsized. According to local police, 45 survivors were rescued. Officially, 251 people died in the accident.
==Accident==
Early on March 22, 2014, two boats carrying people from the Kyangwali refugee settlement left the Ugandan shore of Lake Albert en route to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).〔 On the way, one of the boats capsized. Its passengers had been returning home after United Nations and Congolese forces won major victories over the Allied Democratic Forces and M23 rebel groups in recent months.〔 There was no evidence that the boat's passengers had left Uganda due to conditions at the refugee camp.〔
Reports indicated that the accident occurred due to overcrowding, a common cause of boating casualties in the region due to lax enforcement of safety rules.〔 The boat's listed capacity was 80, but approximately 300 people were on board at the time of the accident.〔 The lack of life vests and inability of most passengers to swim also contributed to the high death toll. Additionally, the boat was in poor condition mechanically.
