Civilians Killed by Strikes in Gulf States Are Migrant Workers

Migrant Workers Face Deadly Risks in Gulf Conflicts

Murib Zaman, a 40-year-old migrant worker from Pakistan, was killed in the United Arab Emirates during a missile attack. His family expressed shock at the news, highlighting the dangers faced by migrant workers in the Gulf region.

Tens of millions of foreign nationals like Zaman form the backbone of the Gulf economies, which are increasingly impacted by regional conflicts. At least 12 civilians have been killed in attacks across Gulf countries since the U.S.-Israeli operation on Iran began. Most of the victims are migrant workers, underscoring the high cost of conflict on vulnerable populations.
