This report is the third from the Vital Signs Partnership, a coalition of human rights organisations working to research the deaths of migrant workers in the Gulf states, and to promote enhanced protection for workers’ health. Our first report attempted to quantify and explain the deaths of lowpaid migrant workers in the six states of the Gulf Cooperative Council (GCC) and identified serious and systematic problems in the manner in which deaths are investigated in the GCC. The second described the various barriers that prevent workers from accessing non-emergency healthcare in the region and identified these as a factor in the exceptionally high-rate of unexplained deaths of migrant workers.
In this report, we explore how extreme temperatures and the Gulf states’ abusive labour practices combine with devastating consequences for the health of migrant workers. We find that long-term exposure to extreme heat leads to chronic health problems which require lifelong treatment
