Tuesday, following the sinking of a boat loaded with clandestine Haitian migrants, 10 dead bodies had been discovered on the northwest point of the island of Providenciales (Turks and Caicos Islands) https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-19900-haiti-social-10-clandestine-haitians-found-dead-in-the-tci.html .

Wednesday in search of survivors, 5 new bodies were found, bringing to 15 the provisional toll of the number of victims drowned in this sinking.

A Haitian survivor was arrested, said Kevin Clarke, Spokesman for the Turks and Caicos Police Force, allowing to know that 69 people were aboard the boat (50 men and 19 women).

The survivor said he had swum to the shore when the boat began to sink after hitting a rock in a rough sea and several of his compatriots had also managed to reach the mainland, without being able to say how exactly.
