UN urges quick rescue for stranded sailors
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk called for urgent action to save approximately 6,000 sailors stranded aboard 400 ships in the Strait of Hormuz, warning of a worsening humanitarian and human rights crisis. He explained that some ship owners have abandoned their crews without providing food, water, medical care, or salaries, and that the number of mariners who have died since the start of the war has reached 17. He called for an end to attacks on civilian ships, safe evacuation, and the repatriation of the sailors to their home countries.
