This number may mean nothing without context. At least 6,500 migrant workers have died, but how many exactly occurred due to the construction of new buildings for the World Cup?
The title of this post isn’t really honest. It says “at least 6,500 deaths constructing stadia for the World Cup” but the Guardian article is titled “6,500 migrant workers have died in Qatar since World Cup awarded”.
And yes, I’m aware of migrant abuse in Qatar and other relatively wealthy Middle Eastern countries…just want to set the facts straight
