In a tragic incident in Mangaf, Kuwait, a devastating fire has claimed the lives of 49 migrant workers, predominantly Indians, as they were caught unaware while sleeping early Wednesday morning. The fire broke out in a housing facility housing nearly 196 single male workers, engulfing the building in flames. Reports indicate that amidst the chaos, some workers attempted to escape by jumping from the first floor, while others succumbed to smoke inhalation inside. Firefighters responded promptly but were challenged by the intensity of the blaze. Investigations are ongoing into the cause, suspected to be a gas leak exacerbated by flammable building materials.
