Multiple-fatality disaster on the Tigris

The 2019 Mosul ferry sinking occurred on 21 March 2019, when a ferry carrying passengers on the Tigris River near Mosul capsized and sank, killing 103 people, 12 of them children. The capsize was caused by overcrowding on board the vessel, and by high water levels on the Tigris. Many of the passengers were celebrating the Kurdish New Year.
