Seafarers in Arabian Gulf lodge PTSD claims after Iranian guards board ships
Seafarers in the Gulf are filing PTSD claims after Iranian guards boarded ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Even those not directly attacked are affected. Around 20,000 seafarers are stranded, and there have been 38 attacks with 11 deaths. Experts warn of long-term mental health impacts and a possible crew shortage if seafarers avoid these routes. The IMO secretary general says the stress and isolation are severely harming their mental health.
