3 Pakistani killed in a building collapsed in Qatar.

According to News, three Pakistani labourers died in Qatar’s capital Doha after an unmaintained building collapsed while they were sleeping inside.

The seven-story building collapsed on Wednesday, with some of its parts damaging a nearby three-story building. Jamal Mazhar, Muhammad Azim, and Zeeshan Hafeez were among those killed.

According to local reports, the seven-story structure housed a large number of Pakistanis, Egyptians, and Filipinos. Further information about the possible cause of the collapse has not yet been released.

This is not the first incident in which Pakistani migrants have died, as many have previously drowned while attempting to travel to another country by boat.

A fatal boat crash near the Libyan city of Benghazi earlier this month killed three Pakistanis. The Foreign Office (FO) expressed condolences to the families of the victims and assisted in transporting the deceased back to Pakistan.

Similarly, a small boat carrying migrants crashed into rocks off the southern Italian coast last month, killing 58 people, including several Pakistanis. The migrants on board came from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and other countries. However, due to bad weather, it crashed near Steccato di Cutro on Calabria’s eastern coast.
