An overloaded boat carrying food aid off northern Mozambique has capsized killing at least 12 people.
It was travelling between the costal city of Pemba and the island of Ibo off Cabo Delgado province, where an Islamist militant insurgency over the last four years has left thousands dead.
More than 30,000 people are estimated to have fled the mainland for refuge on the small Indian Ocean island.
Local marine official Tauacale Avelino told reporters the boat had been carrying 26 people and four tonnes of aid from the UN World Food Programme when it sank on Tuesday.
He urged boat owners to comply with safety regulations.
