@DFID_UK funded #research, delivered by @SatAppsCatapult& @ACAPSproject, helping to raise awareness of risks of an oil spill from the #SAFER tanker, off the coast of #Yemen. Immediate #access to the tanker is needed to avoid #environmental, #humanitarian and #economic disaster.

[Michael Aron @HSAMichaelAron]

The recent spillage of 20,000 tonnes of fuel in Russia is causing massive environmental damage in Siberia. The SAFER tanker in Yemen has 150,000 tonnes of crude which would devastate the Red Sea and its coast if it leaked. The Houthis must allow the UN to tackle the issue.

Big thx to Dan Maxwell - always worth reading all these articles if you can, but interesting to see Dan's top reads and rationale (and his humility not to star his own famine prevention landscape paper included in HCRI's long list!)
