An AFP report said three other people from the boat were rescued.Of the three who were rescued, one was an Indonesian fisherman, but the Indonesian citizen was later declared dead.
Thus, the total number of Indonesian citizens who died in the two incidents was seven.In more detail, four Indonesian citizens from the Carlos Cunha ship are thought to have died and are still missing, one Indonesian citizen who was rescued from the ship also died.

The number of Indonesian fishermen on Portuguese vessels has increased in recent times.This condition was supported after the government relaxed regulations limiting the number of foreign workers there.
