As the search continues for passengers feared dead in Venezuela's Delta Amacuro shipwreck, international human rights agencies have called for safer pathways for migrants fleeing Venezuela's socio-economic crisis.
Venezuelan authorities reported that six of the passengers aboard a vessel, which capsized in a strait of the sea known as Boca de Serpiente (Snakes Mouth) around 4 am last Thursday, have died.
