Heavy rainfall since the beginning of May has increased the water levels of Danube river, thus hampering rescue operations.
Seven people died and 19 others are missing after a river cruise boat with 33 South Koreans capsized after colliding with another vessel on Danube river in Budapest on Wednesday night, AFP reported. The 26-metre tourist boat was also carrying two Hungarian crew members.
Seven people have been rescued, Pal Gyorfi, spokesperson for the Hungarian emergency services, said on Thursday morning. “At this stage, seven people have been taken to hospital in a stable condition and our services have recorded the death of seven other people.
