The death toll from a petrol tanker explosion last week in Mozambique has risen to 80, officials said Monday, after the blast ripped through crowds jostling to illegally collect fuel.
The government said people had used hose pipes and jerry cans to collect the petrol, which had also spilt around the truck when the blaze erupted.
The tanker exploded in Tete province, a remote western region near the border with Malawi, killing 43 people on the spot, with more than 100 others badly burnt, including many children.
