Tana River boat accident: 3 more bodies retrieved as death toll hits 7

On Sunday evening, a private boat ferrying an unspecified number of people capsized between Madogo and Garissa along the Tana River. 

The boat was ferrying people at a fee across the flooded section of the Madogo- Garissa Road when tragedy struck. 

Tana River has broken its banks following the heavy rains experienced in most parts of the country. 

The Garissa-Nairobi highway was cut off by the raging floods at Madogo, leading to the booming boat business that has turned tragic.

A report from Madogo police station shows that 23 people have been rescued from the incident while 15 still missing as rescue activities continue.
