Human rights organisation Equidem interviewed 250 migrant workers in Saudi Arabia , Qatar and UAE for a new report.

The Gulf is a leading global destination for migrant workers from some of the world’s poorest countries.

Equidem calculated the “wet-bulb” temperatures that workers across the region were being exposed to.

Workers reported limited access to water and break times, as well as a host of heat-related health issues.
