‘If a rocket strikes, they just hope’: Red Sea seafarers experiencing symptoms like shellshocked soldiers in World War I trenches
Clinical psychologist Charles Watkins has first-hand experience of the devasting toll Houthi attacks in the Red Sea are having on crew members.
Aside from any physical injuries, the chief executive of Mental Health Support Solutions told TradeWinds of symptoms reminiscent of shellshocked soldiers in World War One trenches.
Watkins has recently returned from a visit to an unnamed container ship that came under fire while transiting the Red Sea.
