Senegal tragedy: In pictures

The sinking of the ferry Joola is being described as the worst disaster in Senegal's modern history.

The ferry sank in storms carrying some 1,000 passengers

As news broke people rushed to the ferry port in Dakar

But hundreds were thought trapped aboard

Some lost their entire families

Three days of mourning were declared

So for most of those waiting the news was bad

Photos were put on display of bodies recovered
