DUBAI (Reuters) - Three workers died and several were injured at a building site in Qatar, which has come under pressure to improve conditions for labourers working on venues for the 2022 World Cup, state news agency QNA reported.
Citing the Gulf Arab state's defence ministry, QNA said late on Tuesday that the deaths occurred during an "incident" at a construction site belonging to the Qatari armed forces but gave no details. The ministry "stressed its commitment to abide by the highest safety standards in all its facilities," QNA said.
