A wooden vessel, believed to be a cargo ship carrying passengers
illegally, sank in the Indian Ocean on Monday with 130 people on board.
Five children were among the dead.
Fifty passengers have since been rescued and around 15 remain missing,
as search for survivors continues.
Maritime authorities said initial investigations suggested the vessel’s
engine had a technical problem, leaving the boat vulnerable to tidal
forces and causing it to run aground on a reef.
