시행된 조치: The report states that the workers have appealed to both Kuwait and Zimbabwean embassies but had not yet received help. In June they staged a demonstration after they had been unable to contact the authorities "due to the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions". The Kuwait Ministry of Labour has reportedly ordered the Kuwaiti project sponsor (Sudan Regional Trading & Contracting Co.) to pay the salaries; despite agreeing to do so, the sponsor had not. The workers continue to survive on handouts and have stated they are afraid, with no one to safeguard their health.
