What this source establishes

The Chronicle reports President Ali told relatives at a briefing on the evening of Thursday 23 July that a full salvage of the MV Barima may become the only remaining option if efforts to access the wreck fail, but said authorities were trying to avoid it because it could disturb what remains inside. He said some divers became ill and returned to the surface during that day’s repositioning attempt, and that divers would return from 5:30 a.m. The article gives 76 rescued, 72 bodies recovered and 65 identified.
