Sounds like their NGO ‘rescue’ boat didn’t arrive as scheduled.

The Turks and Caicos are often a magnet for desperate Haitians seeking to flee that poverty-stricken nation and the territory also has been used as a transshipment point by human traffickers.

I figured Cuba because they were all dead so it must have drifted for awhile.
