Guyana ferry disaster death toll climbs to ~100 as families demand accountability

Approximately 100 people feared dead with 53 bodies recovered; families separated and grieving, including parents who lost children in the disaster.

Off the Essequibo coast of Guyana, an 87-year-old ferry named the MV Barima capsized on a Saturday run, carrying far more souls than its manifest allowed, and the water has since claimed nearly 100 of them. Four days on, families gather at the waterfront in Charity, waiting for divers to return what the river has taken, while a government scrambles to explain how an aging vessel remained the only passage between communities. It is a story as old as human transit itself — the slow accumulation of deferred decisions, dismissed warnings, and misplaced reassurances that together become catastrophe
