Rescue workers and divers in Bangladesh on Wednesday pulled scores of bodies from the wreckage of a ferry that sank after being hit by an oil barge, as the death toll rose to 112. The packed Shariatpur 1 vessel, carrying about 200 passengers, capsized in the early hours of Tuesday morning after a collision with the barge in the Meghna river, 40 kilometres (25 miles) southeast of the capital Dhaka. Rescue teams completed their search of the ferry after raising it from the river bed and pulling it to the bank, head of the operation navy commander Gulzar Hossain said. “The death toll is now 112,” he told AFP. “Divers have combed through the cabins, decks and every place inside the wreckage and found many bodies.” “We’ve completed our search and most of the missing have been accounted for. Our teams are now scouring the river downstream to see whether any bodies have been washed away.”
