Qatar 2022: "Not enough evidence" that changes happened since 2010 as deaths of construction workers at World Cup stadiums allegedly remain underreported
Bangladeshi worker Emran Khan said he paid USD3,000 to secure a job as an engineering assistant in Qatar that would pay USD350 a month but on arrival he was only paid USD200 after his employer deducted money for food allowance. Emran once had a concrete tube fall on his leg, said when he brought this up to his employer he was threatened to be sent back to Bangladesh and he did not have much choice because his passport was withheld.

The Qatar Govt. has maintained only 37 workers died in non-work related incidents while employed on World Cup sites - stadiums and training camps. Renewed focus on the circumstances surrounding these deaths, a lack of transparency and investigation by the authorities and mounting evidence of deaths and injuries caused by "heat stress" has led to accusations of health and safety breaches complicit in workers' deaths where there are ostensibly no other reasons they would have died.
A Bangladeshi worker died from respiratory failure after being found having difficulties breathing and received treatment by paramedics.

Nepali worker Rupchandra Rumba died in his sleep due to what was ruled as respiratory failure of natural causes. Rupchandra was deployed by Maskey Contracting and was subcontracted to work as a scaffolder at Education City Stadium. However, Maskey Contracting was not pre-approved to work on this project and thus the workers subcontracted have not been medically screened, and in addition the accommodation that housed the worker was not approved either. This violated the Qatari Worker Welfare Standards.

The Qatar Govt. has maintained only 37 workers died in non-work related incidents while employed on World Cup sites - stadiums and training camps. Renewed focus on the circumstances surrounding these deaths, a lack of transparency and investigation by the authorities and mounting evidence of deaths and injuries caused by "heat stress" has led to accusations of health and safety breaches complicit in workers' deaths where there are ostensibly no other reasons they would have died.
An Indian construction worker worker collapsed on the worksite and was later pronounced dead after attempts at providing healthcare due to respiratory failure.
