Civilian Sailors Trapped and Vulnerable Amid Persian Gulf Conflict

Thousands of civilian workers remain stranded on ships in the Persian Gulf. These vessels face ongoing risks of attack amid the regional conflict. Many sailors are left vulnerable while performing their routine duties at sea. On one particular vessel, crew members have faced severe restrictions.
