  "account": "A Pakistani engineer named Hammad Obaidah is currently missing following a fire that erupted on the ship Al Kya, located near Oman’s port. According to his family, Obaidah was a third engineer on the vessel and boarded the ship in Karachi on September 6. The fire was discovered on September 13 and caused damage to the ship’s engine room, along with other sections. The ship was carrying 25 crew members at the time, with 23 of them being rescued by rescuers. Obaidah was reportedly on night duty in the engine room when the fire started. Later, crew members mentioned that the likelihood of survival for those trapped inside the engine room was very slim. So far, it has not been confirmed whether Obaidah survived or perished in the incident. The family reached out to the Foreign Office and the Maritime Security Agency’s crisis management cell for assistance, but they have not yet located him. Two days after the incident, no confirmed information was provided by authorities regarding his current status. The family has urged the Pakistani government and relevant institutions to collaborate with Omani authorities to locate Obaidah. They also stated that if the engineer had died in the fire, officials should recover his body and offer immediate aid.",
