A Houthi-owned helicopter hijacked the Galaxy Leader cargo ship on November 19 in the Red Sea, as rebel gunmen laid siege to the vessel and took the ship’s crew of 17 Filipinos, two Bulgarians, three Ukrainians, two Mexicans and a Romanian hostage.

It’s now been more than 116 days since the hijacking, and according to a senior Filipino government official, there is no indication that the Houthis are open to releasing them until the hostilities end.

...

Two Filipinos and a  Vietnamese crew member were killed in a Houthi strike on the M/V True Confidence on March 6. The vessel was hit by a Houthi anti-ship missile and fire quickly spread on board. The remaining crew was rescued by the Indian Navy, which took them to Djibouti for treatment.

That is a very good read on the situation. I highly respect the Filipino foreign affair official. He voices his concerns and assessement of the situation realistically and neutrally instead of throwing around sensationalized propaganda claims.

I hope their work brings fruits and all capitve sailors can return home safely soon.

Those of you downvoting comments suggesting Israel stop their genocide are very small indeed. Fuck Israel.
