World Cup workers in Qatar… Dozens dead in a few months
As Qatar continues its readiness to host the 2022 World Cup
 the number of deaths recorded among the Nepalese workers
 reached its highest level in three years
 According to the British newspaper Daily Mail
 67 Nepalese workers died in Qatar between July 16 and November 15, 2020
 with the emergence of the Coronavirus pandemic
 The Nepalese foreign employment promotion council says that the number of death among Nepalese workers in Qatar
 had reached 104 between July 15, 2019 and July 15, 2020
 During the same period (2018-2019) then (2017-2018)
 96 deaths were recorded during each year
 noting that these numbers do not include those who were killed in the traffic accidents
 Nick McGeehan, director of the Fair Square organization for human rights: There is no excuse for this increase in the number of worker deaths…Qatar has a terrible record when it comes to the number of worker deaths because it refuses to take measure to protect them.
 The suffering of the Nepalese workers in Qatar is not actually limited to the World Cup sites
 however it includes other areas that present worrying violations
 whose hundreds of thousands of workers are working with lower salaries
 in very terrible conditions with lack of the protection against possible risks
 Qatar’s failure to act on increasing death number
 asks questions about Qatar’s claimed labor reforms
 Was it able to achieve anything from its alleged reforms or it was just a speech?
