The family of two Irish women who are stranded on a cruise ship near Panama have said they are concerned for their welfare. Four passengers have died and more than 130 have flu-like symptoms on board the MS Zaandam.
The daughter of Barbara Goodwin from Dundrum in Dublin, who is 71-years-old and her sister, 69-year-old Ursla Fearon from Derry, says the family has been unable to contact her mother or aunt for 48 hours Suzanne Goodwin, who is a healthcare professional says her family want the Irish government to get their relatives off the cruise ship, saying they don't believe there is enough medical personnel on board if the situation worsens.
