(CNN) -- Authorities have recovered 54 bodies after a ferry crammed with people capsized in southern Bangladesh, police said Sunday.

Among the victims were 22 children and 15 women, said Nazrul Islam, the police chief of Bhola district where the accident occurred Friday. Thirty more passengers are believed missing and presumed dead, he said. "Hopefully, in few hours, we should be able to confirm the exact number of missing (people)," Islam said.
