The Kuwaiti authorities are working to contain an oil spill that has tarred the beaches and left long black slicks in the area of Ras al-Zour, but activists have accused it of covering up the full scale of the damage.
On Saturday, the government announced that boats and crews were dispatched to drop containment booms in the area, a kind of floating barrier to stop the oil spill moving further. According to the state-run Kuwait News Agency, the authorities’ priorities were first to secure waterways, power plants and water facilities.
