"Ghulam was one of more than a dozen civilians killed across the Persian Gulf since the United States and Israel began pummeling Iran with strikes Feb. 28 and Iran began retaliating by striking wealthy Gulf nations that for years had been heralded for their stability."
"As many of Dubai's wealthier residents fled amid four weeks of strikes, those workers have remained. The war has increased visibility of the role they play in the city - and the precariousness they face, with their lives and jobs more at risk than those who can pay for a flight out or work from home."
Muzaffar Ali Ghulam, a migrant worker in Dubai, was killed by shrapnel from an Iranian missile strike. He worked long hours to support his family in Pakistan. Despite the escalating conflict, many migrant workers remain in Dubai, unable to afford to leave. The ongoing violence has revealed their essential contributions to the city's economy while exposing their vulnerability compared to wealthier residents who can evacuate. The situation underscores the precariousness of their lives amid regional tensions.
