Lived alone on an abandoned ship
Since 2017, Mohammed Aisha has lived alone on an abandoned ship on the southern shores of Egypt.
That year the Egyptian justice appointed him legal guardian of this boat that had been adrift.
“When I accepted the decision, I didn’t know what I was signing,” he says.
For that reason they withheld his passport and in order to get out of this situation he can only be in two ways: either the owner of the boat finds a replacement for him or the boat is sold.
The owner of the boat has indicated that it has not been possible to find a person to replace him.
And he asks for help: “My mother died two years ago. I just want to go home and be with my family.”
“Besides, when he signed the order of justice from Egypt, he was left alone in this.”
There are currently 250 active cases of abandonment of ships and sailors around the world according to the International Labor Organization.
