The death toll from Monday's boat accident off the Indian Ocean islands of Comoros has risen to at least 54. The boat capsized when it traveled between two islands of the country. The boat set out on Monday night from near the coast of Grande-Comore in the southern Comoros island. It was expected to dock at the Anjouan island near Moroni. The archipelagic country has not been strange to boat sinking over the past years. In 2006, an Al-Mubarak ship flying the Comoran flag sank off the Mahoran coast when it left Madagascar.
