2.2 Study the case study below and answer the questions that follow.

DEATHS IN QATAR: 6 500 MIGRANT WORKERS HAVE DIED CONSTRUCTING 2022

WORLD CUP SITE

More than 6 500 migrant workers from India,

Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and
Sri Lanka have died in Qatar since it won the
right to host the World Cup 10 years ago.

In the past 10 years, Qatar has embarked

on a building programme in preparation for
the FIFA World Cup in 2022. In addition to
seven new stadiums, dozens of major
projects have been completed or are under
way, including a new airport, roads, public
transport systems, hotels and a new city,
which will host the World Cup final.

Qatar failed to protect its 2 million-strong

migrant workforce, or even investigated the
causes of the apparently high rate of death
among the largely young workers.

There is a real lack of clarity and transparency surrounding these deaths. “Natural death”
is the most commonly listed cause of death, including 80% of Indian deaths. Several
reports have indicated most worker deaths are a result of extreme summer
temperatures, which routinely hit and average of 48° C for several months. Road
accidents, workplace accidents and suicide are among the other most-cited causes of
death.

The world cup is blood-stained and if Qatar and FIFA don’t account for the death of
these thousands of migrant workers, those dead men will haunt this year’s tournament
and everyone after it.

Whoever wins this blue-riband competition will lift a 'blood-stained' cup.
