GOMA, DR Congo, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) -- An official funeral was held on Thursday in Goma, the capital of the North Kivu Province in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), in memory of the victims of the recent deadly ferry accident on Lake Kivu.
The burial of 11 identified bodies of Goma residents killed after the ferry "MV MERDI" capsized on Lake Kivu a week ago took place at the Makao cemetery. At least 87 people were killed last Thursday after the ferry capsized near the port of Kituku, according to a provincial government report that did not specify the number of people on board.
