World Cup Of Dark Shadow

A worker passes away during the World cup at the Sealine Beach Resort in Qatar. The Migrant worker was performing tasks when he slipped off a ramp into concrete while walking alongside a forklift truck. The incident was confirmed with the Athletic. The Filipino man whose name is thought to be Alex was involved in a forklift accident at the five-star Sealine Beach Resort where Saudi Arabia had set up a training base during the group stages. No date was provided for the death as no further questions were responded by FIFA.

“Compensation is paid through the workers' support and insurance fund when a worker has been injured or passed away due to a work-related incident, or when an employer is unable to pay salaries”. FIFA confirmed.

The accident occurred on a public road within the resort, which during the World Cup is renting rooms beginning at around £265 per night. It is a remarkable building. Spectacular in design, and enormous in scale. The Sealine resort has been subject to scrutiny over conditions for the low-paid migrant workforce and lack of details on deaths.

The ongoing World cup in Qatar has led to the deaths of more than six thousand five hundred migrant workers. Qatar won the right to host the world cup ten years ago. The spotlight had been on Qatar ahead of the tournament due to the alleged treatment of migrant workers employed in the gulf state.

The incident is being investigated by the Qatari authorities.“If the investigation concludes that safety protocols were not followed, the company will be subject to legal action and severe financial penalties”. A Qatari government official said.
