In Indonesia, the death toll from an overcrowded ferry which sank off in the eastern region yesterday has gone up to 12. Brigadier General Sigit Sudarmanto, a police chief on Sulawesi Island said, ninety-three people, including the captain were rescued, but officials feared some others were still trapped inside the sunken vessel. The ferry travelling from the town of Bajoe to Kolaka, went down just after midnight in waters off southern Sulawesi as many passengers were sleeping. Two of the dead were children. It's not clear how many people were aboard the ship.
