Authorities on Monday said the 'new survivors' picked some of their belongings including national IDs, ATM cards among others.

Last month, witnesses told local media that over 100 people had been on the boat before capsizing.

The tragedy claimed 33 people and only 26 were rescued.

Hope

Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson said the number of 'new survivors' gives authorities hope of many people surviving.

"These new survivors have given us hope that actually many people survived this tragedy but they were perhaps in shock.

"We are happy that they have come out and personally picked up these items. We urge those who have not picked their belongings to visit Mukono Police Station."
