it's 15.000 foreigners dying in 5 years, counting all foreigner deaths in Qatar. I .... have no idea if that is high or not.
- bhouston 2y ago"More than 6,500 migrant workers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have died in Qatar since it won the right to host the World Cup 10 years ago, the Guardian can reveal." Damn, the gulf state's abuse of foreign workers is right up there with US and Canada's treatment of foreign workers 100 years ago.
- banannaise 2y agoConsidering that the US and others largely know about this and benefit from the product of this labor, one might argue that they never stopped; they simply outsourced it.
