Beaches in Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, and Sharjah have been closed due to pollution likely caused by an attack on an oil tanker. Efforts are underway to contain and clean the oil spill, which originated from the damaged tanker Gem No 2. Local residents have reported a strong smell of oil or gas for several days, but authorities claim there is no health risk. The spill has affected marine life in the region, including dugongs and sea turtles, and has expanded significantly since the attack two weeks ago.
