Divers have rescued a man from the wreck of an overcrowded Tanzanian ferry that capsized on Lake Victoria, killing at least 207 people.
Bodies continue to float to the surface around the vessel, which initial estimates suggested was carrying more than 300 people.
State broadcaster TBC said the death toll from Thursday's disaster had reached 207.
Four navy divers resumed their search inside the sunken MV Nyerere early on Saturday after hearing sounds that suggested signs of life.
They pulled one man out of the overturned ship and he was rushed to hospital, a witness said.
His condition was not immediately known.
The ferry sank on Thursday evening just a few metres from the dock on Ukerewe, the lake's biggest island.
President John Magufuli ordered the arrest of those responsible for the sinking on Friday.
Dozens of relatives stood crying by the shoreline as they waited for information on their loved ones.
Coffins were lined up near awaiting bodies being pulled from the vessel, which lay belly up in the water just metres from the shoreline.
Survivor Charles Ngarima said the ferry overturned quickly and covered passengers.
"I was lucky that I was able to swim under water not knowing where I was swimming to...while trying to swim to safety, I found a number of metal bars that cut my face and the back of my head," he said.
Works, Transport and Communication Minister Isack Kamwelwe said the government was sending special equipment to aid the rescue effort.
