"The hidden Doha: Inside the ‘Industrial Area’ where thousands of workers live in Qatar", 31 May 2022
The prosaically-named Industrial Area and nearby Labour City is home to a large number of Qatar’s total population. Up to 800,000 Asian and African workers, mainly employed as construction workers and security guards, live packed in overcrowded accommodation…
Work is tough, many here are not paid on time and some are harassed by their employers… Alcohol sales in Qatar are strictly regulated, yet, illegal networks exist to sell regular or homemade liquor to migrant workers…
“A lot of workers here get hooked on alcohol and never fully recover… In the summer, workers often die of heatstroke after falling asleep outside drunk after an evening at The Field,” [one guard] tells The Independent.
...The Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC), the government body in charge of supervising the construction of World Cup-related infrastructures, never responded to The Independent’s requests for interviews and requests to visit workers’ camps…
“There are not four people per room, but sometimes eight, on bunk beds. Showers and kitchens are in a state of despair. Let alone ventilation noise, it is a nightmare. In the summertime, that’s even worse. 50 degrees and fires are not uncommon in these camps that are not at all up to safety standards,” [one Kenyan worker] says.
