Hundreds of workers continue to clean up the aftermath of an oil spill off the UAE coast
After an oil spill from the supertanker Gem No 2 off the UAE coast, large-scale coastal cleanup continues: about a thousand people and nearly a hundred pieces of equipment are involved, with some equipment delivered from the United States. Some beaches in Ras Al Khaimah and Sharjah have already reopened, but closures on the east coast continue, and the source of the pollution there has not been confirmed.
