Sudan: 21 Refugees feared drowned

At least 21 Eritrean and Somali refugees are feared to have drowned when their overloaded boat capsized in a river in east Sudan, United Nation refugee agency (UNHCR) has said. The group was part of a larger group of four boats crossing Atbara river at night to evade police checkpoints in early hours of Tuesday morning as government regulations stipulate that refugees must remain in camps and receive assistance there.
