At least four people, including two children, have been confirmed dead owing to the tragic shipwreck that occurred last week off the coast of Delta Amacuro State, as the Venezuelan government continues its efforts to search for the missing passengers.

Media outlets reported that at least 17 people were rescued on February 20 after the boat capsized en route to Trinidad.

An update on the Venezuelan media outlet Tane Tanae Noticias on February 24 said some of the survivors were still being treated in the public health centres in Pedernales and Tucupita.
