At least 69 people have been rescued after the MV Barima sank late Saturday off the Essequibo coast, and 27 bodies have been found so far — four of them children, Prime Minister Mark Phillips said.

“Estaba luchando por mi vida. El barco se hundió en minutos, en segundos”, relató Helena Moonsammy y contó que le cayeron cajas encima mientras intentaba salvar a sus nietos.

No survivors have been found ‌since Sunday afternoon, when Guyanese authorities announced they had rescued 67 people, including 15 children.
