2024 Mangaf building fire

On 12 June 2024, an early-morning fire broke out at a
2024 Mangaf building fire
residential building in Mangaf in Kuwait's Ahmadi
Governorate housing 196 male[1] migrant workers of
NBTC Group,[2][3] killing 50 migrant workers,[2][4] at
least 46 of whom were from India,[5][6][7][8] and injuring
around 50 others.[9] Most victims died of smoke
inhalation, while others were fatally injured from falling.
The building's owner was arrested in the wake of the
fire.[10]

Indian officials such as Prime Minister Narendra Modi

and Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan
Singh offered condolences and aid for the relatives of the
victims. They also arranged for the repatriation of the Wikimedia | © OpenStreetMap

remains of their deceased nationals.[11][12][13] Location of the Building, Mangaf, Kuwait

Date 12 June 2024

Incident
Location Mangaf, Ahmadi
The fire was reported at 06:00 AST (03:00 GMT) on the Governorate, Kuwait
ground floor of a six-storey residential building housing Coordinates

room before spreading to the kitchen, where over 20 LPG Cause Short circuit
cylinders and other flammable materials were present, Deaths 50
allowing the fire to spread rapidly. [14][15] Flames Non-fatal 56
engulfed the lower part of the building and thick black injuries
smoke billowed from the upper floors.[16] Most of the
deaths were a result of smoke inhalation while sleeping,[17][18] while several victims suffered from
fall injuries. Security agencies rescued 67 people.[19] Five firefighters were injured during the
rescue efforts.[20] Firefighters extinguished the blaze 10 minutes after they arrived.[21]

A preliminary investigation found that the fire was caused by an electrical short circuit in the
security guard's room located on the ground floor of the building[22] and was exacerbated by the
use of a flammable material to partition apartments and rooms. It also found that victims were
prevented from escaping to the rooftop by a locked door.[21]

Victims
Fifty people were killed, and at least another 50 were injured and taken to hospital.[9] All victims
were male migrant workers, the majority from India, who were all employed for the NBTC
Group.[2][3][23] Indian embassy officials visited the injured in hospitals.[24] As of 14 June, 48
bodies had been identified.[25] It was the second deadliest fire in Kuwait since an arson attack in
2009 that killed 57 people.[21]

At least 46 of the dead were from India, including at least 23 from Kerala,[a][5][6][7][8] seven from
Tamil Nadu, three from Andhra Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, two from Odisha, and one each from
Bihar, Haryana, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Punjab, Maharashtra and West Bengal.[26][27] Their ages
ranged between 20 and 50.[28] Hospitals in the area admitted 56 patients from the fire.[29] Around
50 Indians were injured,[16] over 30 of whom were treated at Al Adan hospital, which was later
visited by the Indian ambassador to Kuwait, Adarsh Swaika.[30] Three overseas Filipino workers
also died[31] while two others were in a critical condition.[32] Nepali nationals were among the
injured.[16]

Kuwait is highly dependent on migrant labour, but their poor living conditions have been noted by
human rights groups.[16] From 2022 to 2024, over 1,400 Indian workers died in Kuwait, and the
Indian embassy in Kuwait City received 16,423 complaints from March 2021 to December 2023
due to payment delays, harassment, and substandard accommodation. A large number of migrants
returned to India due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[33]

Aftermath
Deputy Prime Minister Sheikh Fahad Yusuf al-Sabah ordered the arrest of the building's owner
and said violations of building standards led to the disaster.[34][35] A senior police officer told state
TV that warnings were often issued about overcrowding in this type of accommodation.[16] The
building's owner was later detained for negligence.[12][36]

Reactions
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called the disaster "saddening" and expressed condolences
to the victims and their relatives. He announced an ex-gratia relief of ₹200,000 (US$2,394) to
each of the families of the deceased Indian nationals from the Prime Minister's Relief Fund.[11] The
Government of Kerala also pledged ₹500,000 in financial assistance to the families of people from
the state that died.[37] Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar also offered condolences, and
Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh said that he would provide assistance
and repatriate the dead.[12] On 14 June, their bodies were returned to India aboard an Indian Air
Force aircraft, stopping first in Kochi, where the dead from south India were released, before
proceeding to Delhi, where the remaining victims were claimed.[13] The Filipino fatalities were
repatriated on 17 June.[38]

Saudi Arabia's King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman shared their condolences
for Kuwait, with the king wishing a speedy recovery for the injured.[39] The foreign ministries of
the United Arab Emirates and Iran also expressed solidarity with Kuwait.[40][41]

On 13 June, the Kerala Catholic Bishops' Council (KCBC), the Regional Bishops' Council for the
State of Kerala, expressed their condolences to the families of all victims, calling the disaster
"heartbreaking". Kerala reported a significant number of victims – 26 casualties, many identified
as Christian. Its spokesperson, Father Jacob Palakkappilly, added that they were praying for the
speedy recovery of the injured.[42]
