Fourteen Venezuelan migrants drowned and six are missing after a failed bid to reach Trinidad and Tobago by boat.
Eleven bodies were recovered, and another three corpses were found on a Venezuelan beach, the nation’s government said in a statement. The vessel departed from the Venezuelan town of Guiria on December 6 with 20 people on board, according to the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard.
In recent years about five million people have fled Venezuela to neighbouring countries, to escape the longest and deepest economic slump in modern history,
aggravated since 2017 by US sanctions.
