A well-shot report by Omar Khalifa about Nepal’s stranded Gulf labour force.

“Abandoned at Qatar’s international airport for days, Nepali workers who come hired, with a visa and contract, on the promise of a steady job and a regular wage, are forced to go without money, without food and with no idea if the companies that they have been contracted to, will ever pick them up.”

    That sucks :(
    Reminds me of my trip to Fuerteventura after my Hotel training.
    Noone was there to pick me up. I took a bus by myself (I was 19), all over the island and got to a construction site.
    At least I got into the country and hadn’t have to stay at the airport :(
    Jee…..poor people :(
