Migrant workers keep Dubai running but can’t afford to flee Iranian strikes As Iran’s retaliatory attacks hit regional centers of commerce, such as Dubai, the majority of the deaths have been among migrant workers who could not afford to flee.

Many civilian deaths in the Persian Gulf have been among migrant workers, whose labor has quietly turned cities such as Dubai into global business hubs.

As many of Dubai’s wealthier residents fled during Iranian strikes, those workers have remained.
