DAR ES SALAAM—At least 44 people were confirmed dead and rescuers resumed searching at the crack of dawn on Sept. 21 for hundreds more still missing, a day after a ferry sank in Lake Victoria, Tanzanian police said.
Initial estimates suggested that the MV Nyerere was carrying more than 300 people when it went down on afternoon of Sept. 20, just a few meters from the dock on Ukerewe, the lake’s biggest island, which is part of Tanzania.
