URGENT! My cousin, Dhanajayan, was among 16 crew members on the Prestige Falcon ship that capsized off the Oman coast on July 15th. Nine crew members were rescued, but Dhanajayan is still missing.
It’s been over 10 days since the tragedy. His phone rang on Saturday and Sunday, then went dead. We're desperate.
We implore @mkstalin, @Udhaystalin, @DrSJaishankar, @MEAIndia, @PMOIndia, @IndianDiplomacy, @CPVIndia to help us find Dhanajayan. Please intervene. #SOS #MissingAtSea #PrestigeFalcon #helpUsFindDhanaJayan

It is still not safe to go to the Red Sea, on one hand Houthi rebels are targeting merchant ships, on the other hand Somali pirates are also attacking ships, in the video Somali pirates were killed by security forces.
