The death toll from a tourist boat accident in Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay has reached 37, according to provincial officials.
At least 37 people have been confirmed dead after a tourist cruise boat carrying 53 people capsized in Ha Long Bay on Saturday, Vietnamese authorities said.
The Wonder Sea vessel overturned near Dau Go Cave in Quang Ninh province during heavy rain and strong winds, according to local media reports citing provincial officials.
The boat had 48 tourists and five crew members on board, many of them families with children.
So far, 11 people have been rescued and recovery efforts continue. Rescue operations, initially suspended due to dangerous weather conditions, resumed once the sea calmed and visibility improved.
Quang Ninh police and emergency responders remain on site, searching for any remaining survivors or missing persons.
No official information has yet been released about the nationalities of the tourists.
The incident occurred despite weather alerts issued for the area. Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a popular tourist destination known for its dramatic limestone formations and boat tours.
Authorities have opened an investigation into the circumstances of the capsizing.
