Crew deaths, abductions under DMW verification
The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) is verifying reports of fatalities and abducted crew members following the sinking of the MV Eternity C in the Red Sea.
Out of the 22 crew members, 21 Filipinos, eight seafarers have been rescued, while 13 remain unaccounted for.
The DMW is coordinating with the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and is aware of statements from both the Houthi forces claiming to have "several" crew members and the United States condemning the action as kidnapping.
The US Embassy in Yemen denounced the Houthi action as kidnapping and called for the immediate and unconditional safe release of the seafarers.
