Aqaba, Jordan — While employees at the Aqaba Ports Corporation (APC) have ended a seven-day strike following a deadly toxic chlorine gas leak last week, many of the survivors face a long convalescence and have recounted a litany of long-standing health and safety problems at the southern Jordanian port.
The leak happened after a tank carrying 25 tonnes of chlorine gas fell while being transported on June 27, killing 13 people and injuring more than 300.
