The bodies of three Indian sailors have been recovered from the sea in Sharjah after their ship sank in rough weather over the weekend.
The bodies were recovered off Al Hamriya coast on Saturday, officials said.
The Sharjah Coastguard and police air wing rescued four other sailors and flew them to Khalifa hospital in Ajman to receive treatment.
Five cargo ships ran aground in Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain over the weekend, officials at Al Hamriya Municipality said.
“It will take some time until the ships are removed. The sea is still rough and it might affect the removal,” said Mubarak Al Shamsi, director of Al Hamriya Municipality.
“Our teams have made sure that there are no spills from these vessels that might affect the environment.”

How it works
Each player begins with one of the great empires of history, from Julius Caesar's Rome to Ramses of Egypt, spread over Europe and the Middle East.
Round by round, the player expands their empire. The more land they have, the more money they can take from their coffers for each go.
As unruled land and soldiers are acquired, players must feed them. When a player comes up against land held by another army, they can choose to battle for supremacy.
A dice-based battle system is used and players can get the edge on their enemy with by deploying a renowned hero on the battlefield.
Players that lose battles and land will find their coffers dwindle and troops go hungry. The end goal? Global domination of course.
Strait of Hormuz
Fujairah is a crucial hub for fuel storage and is just outside the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route linking Middle East oil producers to markets in Asia, Europe, North America and beyond.
The strait is 33 km wide at its narrowest point, but the shipping lane is just three km wide in either direction. Almost a fifth of oil consumed across the world passes through the strait.
Iran has repeatedly threatened to close the strait, a move that would risk inviting geopolitical and economic turmoil.
Last month, Iran issued a new warning that it would block the strait, if it was prevented from using the waterway following a US decision to end exemptions from sanctions for major Iranian oil importers.
