Stranded Sailors in the Strait of Hormuz
More than 8,000 sailors are stranded in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz, after the implementation of their evacuation plan by the International Maritime Organization was halted due to security incidents and tensions between the United States and Iran. Some of the sailors have been stranded for over four months under difficult conditions, relying on external aid to supply food, water, and medicines. Their rights have deteriorated, and they are unable to leave because of restrictions on issuing visas and escalating security risks. Despite a temporary sense of optimism following the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the two sides to reopen navigation through the strait, the situation remains threatened, with 14 sailors killed and more than 40 commercial vessels attacked.
