Parents of Danwon High school students who died when a ferry sank off South Korea's southern coast gathered at Paengmok Port in Jindo on Thursday, to condemn the South Korean government for not doing more to save their children.

The parents, who arrived in buses from Ansan, where Danwon High school is located, gathered in front of a tent being used as the government situation room.

They shouted criticisms against the South Korean government for not being able to rescue any more missing passengers than the 174 passengers who were rescued on the first day.

After a short gathering they marched up and down the port, chanting their children's names and carrying various signs written in Korean condemning the government.

They ended the march by shouting out their children's names.

Two weeks after the ferry sank off South Korea's southern coast, 219 have now been confirmed dead, according to the South Korean coast guard.

Frustrated relatives of those on sunken ferry Sewol on Friday allowed South Korean officials to leave a tent at a port on the island of Jindo where they had been held overnight.

The relatives, angry over the pace of the rescue mission, staged a marathon confrontation with the officials on Thursday night, surrounding them in a standoff that lasted into Friday morning.

The frustrated families have been waiting for more than a week on the island for word of their loved ones.

On Friday morning, Oceans and Fisheries Minister Lee Ju-young, was seen still sitting on the floor of the tent where he had spent the night despite being allowed to leave.

The tent is where officials post information about the newly recovered dead.

Lee, coast guard chief Kim Seok-kyun and deputy chief Choi Sang-hwan were crowded by dozens on Thursday as the officials sat on the ground and tried to explain the search efforts.

Relatives were also angry about the pace of divers who have recovered 183 bodies so far but may have nearly 120 left to find in the dark rooms of the submerged vessel.

The ferry sank April 16 on its way from Incheon port to the southern tourist island of Jeju.

More than 80 percent of the 302 dead and missing are students from a single high school in Ansan, south of Seoul.

Eleven crew members, including the captain, have been arrested on suspicion of negligence and abandoning people in need.

The confirmed death toll from South Korea's ferry disaster rose past 50 on Sunday as divers finally found a way inside the sunken vessel, quickly discovering more than a dozen bodies in what almost certainly is just the beginning of a massive and grim recovery effort.

About 250 people are still missing from the ship, the vast majority of them high school students who had been on a holiday trip.

The ferry, Sewol, sank Wednesday off South Korea's southern coast, but it took days for divers to get in because of strong currents and bad visibility due to foul weather.

Beginning late Saturday, when divers broke a window, and continuing into Sunday, multiple teams of divers have found various routes into the ferry, discovering bodies in different spots, a coast guard official Koh Myung-seok said at a briefing.

Thirteen bodies have been found in the ship, while six other bodies were found floating outside Sunday, bringing the official death toll to 52, the coast guard said.

Divers, who once pumped air into the ship in the slim hope that survivors were inside, have yet to find anyone alive there.

The number of confirmed dead in the ferry that sank off South Korea rose to 32 on Saturday, according to the coast guard.

Another 300 people remain missing.

Divers know at least some bodies remain inside the vessel, but they have been unable to get inside.

Ko Myung-seok, the Director-General of Equipment & Technology Bureau at Korea Coast, told reporters on Saturday that the body of a woman was found earlier that morning.

The last three bodies recovered were all women wearing life vests and coast guard officials were describing what the women were wearing to families in order to help identify them.

Ko said 176 ships and 28 planes were mobilised to search the area around the sunken ship Saturday, and that more than 650 divers were trying to search the interior of the ship.

As the death toll in the South Korean ferry disaster climbed above 100 on Tuesday, relatives of missing passengers continued to wait and pray for news of loved ones at a port in Jindo.

However at Paengmok Port, hope had mainly turned to anger, with people blaming the government for not acting quickly enough in the initial search.

Yang Man-ho, a 45 year-old farmer who is there to support his friend whose child is missing, told media that the government stopped local ex-special forces divers from joining in the rescue operation.

"Why do the government stop civilian divers who have volunteered since day one to help, at the risk of their own lives?" He asked.

All that is left now for those at the port is to wait, as bodies continued to be carried off boats arriving back from the site and put into ambulances before being identified.

Since divers found a way over the weekend to enter the submerged ferry, the death count has shot up. Officials said on Tuesday that confirmed fatalities had reached 104, with nearly 200 people still missing.

If a body lacks identification, details such as height, hair length and clothing are posted on a white signboard for families waiting on Jindo island to check.

The bodies are then driven to two tents: one for men and boys, the other for women and girls.

Families listen quietly outside as an official briefs them, then line up and file in. Only relatives are allowed inside.

Divers continued to fight strong currents in their search for 97 passengers still believed missing on board South Korean sunken ferry Sewol on Tuesday, nearly two weeks after the accident.

Coping with the harsh conditions, one diver said on Tuesday that all he focuses on is getting the bodies of victims back to their families.

More than 200 have died as a result of the disaster, the coast guard confirmed on Tuesday.

Relatives and friends of those still missing from the South Korean ferry that sank off Jindo Island said prayers on Sunday as they waited for news.

Only one body was recovered from the Sewol overnight as rescue workers slowed down, but as daylight emerged on day six, the search operation continued.

For the families of those still missing, hope is fading that loved ones will be found alive.

At the information centre on Jindo island, relatives were able to see the names of those who had already been confirmed dead.

More than 170 people escaped the sinking, 61 bodies have been recovered and about 240 people are still missing.

Authorities fear the death toll could eventually exceed 300 making it the country's worst maritime disaster in decades.

The mother of a missing student who was on the sunken South Korean ferry said on Monday the government had not done enough in the disaster which has left more than 300 people dead or missing.

Im Seon-mi, whose 16 year-old daughter Park Hye-seon was on board the ferry, 'Sewol', when it capsized last week, fought back tears as she showed pictures of her daughter on her mobile phone.

"I feel like she is gone, when I should be the one who is gone," she said.

Her anger was evident and she accused the government and the media of making the situation worse.

"After Hye-seon's funeral I am not going to let them be," she said. "Be they government or whatever, I am going to kill them and rip their limbs off and hang them up at Gwanghwamun crossroad (landmark in Seoul)."

Anger is widespread among missing passengers' relatives who are staying in a temporary shelter at a gymnasium on the island of Jindo.

On Sunday, about 100 relatives marched for six hours, intending to travel to South Korean president Park Geun-hye's office 400 kilometres (250 miles) away, before police stopped them.

Families also blocked the prime minister's car and cursed at and pushed the fisheries minister.

On Monday, a doctor volunteering to help those relatives said treating them was difficult as many refused to take prescribed medication in fear of missing any developments.

"Many of them do not have time for psychological counselling," said Kim Seog-ju, an assistant professor at a medical school in Seoul.

"If we prescribe sleeping pills some of them do not wish to take them, or refuse to take them so they can monitor the situation."

So far 64 bodies have been recovered, and about 240 people remain missing. About 225 of the missing and dead are students from a single high school near Seoul who were on their way to the southern island of Jeju.

STORYLINE

Families of victims who were on board the Sewol ferry that sank almost a year ago visited on Wednesday the area where the disaster occurred

The relatives travelled by boat to the site where the ferry capsized off the southwestern coast of South Korea on April 16 2014, killing 304 of the 476 passengers on board.

Many of the victims were students from Danwon High School.

A yellow buoy floating in the sea with the word "Sewol" written on it in Korean is the only reminder of the disaster in the vast expanse of sea.

Of those who died, nine bodies are still missing and some of their relatives also made the sombre journey on Wednesday to pay their respects.

They reached their hands out to the sea, believing their missing loved ones are still inside the sunken ferry.

Other relatives threw flowers into the water.

Officials have blamed negligence by crew members, excessive cargo and improper storage for the sinking, along with slow rescue efforts.

A court sentenced 15 crew members last year to between five and 36 years in prison.

STORYLINE

Angry relatives of passengers who drowned in the Sewol ferry disaster cancelled a memorial service in Ansan on Thursday, in protest against President Park Geun-hye's absence from the event.

More than 300 people died, mostly high school pupils, when the Sewol sank in cold waters off the south-western South Korean coast exactly one year ago.

The relatives expressed their anger over Park not visiting the memorial service even though they had set aside a chair for her and not providing a firm commitment for a deeper investigation into what they say is government responsibility for the sinking and botched rescue.

The families also claimed that Park should have delivered a more detailed plan for salvaging the ship during a speech earlier in the day, according to Pil Kyu Hwang, a lawyer representing the families.

Park made her speech during a visit to the small port near the site of the sinking to offer her condolences to the bereaved relatives.

Most, however, refused to meet her, in protest of the government's handling of the sinking, and had already left the port.

Also Thursday, South Korean lawmakers adopted a resolution urging the government to salvage the ferry.

STORYLINE

Relatives of those who died in the Sewol ferry disaster attended a memorial service on Wednesday at Paengmok Port in Jindo, close to the site where the ferry went down.

Thursday marks the first anniversary of the sinking in which 304 were killed in waters off the southwestern coast of South Korea, many of them high school students.

Among the 476 passengers only 172 survived and the bodies of nine of the victims are still missing.

A model of the sunken ferry was carried on stage during the service, adorned with yellow ribbons with messages wishing farewell to those who died.

A traditional Korean shamanism performance also took place to mourn the victims and to send them to good places in their afterlife.

Korean shamanism has deep roots in folk beliefs from ancient times.

During the service, relatives of victims still missing also insisted the government expedite the ship salvage process so that the remains of their love ones can finally be recovered.
