The U.N. environment chief said that "time is running out" to avert an environmental, economic and humanitarian catastrophe
Tanker full of oil decaying amid Yemen's civil war could blow up
Five years without maintenance has made the "Safer" and its 1 million barrels of crude an "imminent environmental and humanitarian catastrophe."
