Seafarers' Crisis: Mental Health at Stake in Strait of Hormuz
Description
Thousands of seafarers are trapped in the Strait of Hormuz, facing food and water shortages, and crumbling mental health due to constant tension. Tensions between Iran and the U.S. have halted traffic for nine weeks, leaving crews anchored offshore. Bigger shipping firms are providing supplies, but smaller operators struggle, leaving crews with limited resources. Officials call it a humanitarian crisis, urging home countries to offer mental health support and family updates. Seafarers are exhausted and overlooked, pushing for real support to ease this unseen toll on the high seas.
