Mother Pleads for Safer Travel After Ferry Tragedy | Guyana News
Description
A grieving mother speaks out after her 16-year-old son perished in a ferry disaster, blaming unsafe sea travel forced by exorbitant airfares—$30,000 per ticket—and demanding the President act to subsidize flights for Region One residents. The overcrowded vessel, packed with passengers on the upper deck, capsized in rough seas, leaving families clinging to debris for hours in the dark. Her daughter heroically saved another girl, but Andriel didn’t survive. Though funeral costs and counseling were provided, Deally insists the real tragedy is preventable—and she’s pushing for safer, affordable alternatives to avoid more lives lost at sea.
