Fears are growing of an environmental catastrophe in the Red Sea. A Greek-flagged crude oil tanker has been on fire since August 23 after being attacked by Houthi fighters from Yemen. The tanker is carrying 150,000 tons of crude oil — that’s more than 1 million barrels of oil. The Houthi movement has vowed to continue targeting ships as long as Israel continues to attack Gaza.
