    Tragic, but also:

    While returning from the scene, the rescue team said it came across another broken-down lorry carrying more than 60 people, who had been stranded for three days after a battery failure.

    The rescue team, which included Nigerien troops, distributed water to the “exhausted and distressed travellers” and helped repair the vehicle, allowing them to safely resume their journey.

    What I’m hearing is don’t try to cross the desert in a truck, Jesus. It must feel so strange to be alive because nearly 50 people died.
