On the one hand, I can't believe no one has helped them. On the other, I absolutely believe it because anyone in a position to help is glad it isn't them so who cares.

They are receiving some help from the Seafarer ministry which is who is supplying the crew with food, toiletries, wifi, and even bought the crew new phone to replace the ones seized by the FBI. Ambassadors from the India and Sri Lanka embassies have also visited the crew so I wouldn't be surprised if visas will be granted once the ship is back at a berth.
