Iran strikes end Dubai dreams for Pakistani workers

Ali, a 27-year-old labourer, was one of two Pakistanis killed in retaliatory Iranian strikes against Gulf countries since the start of US-Israeli attacks on the Islamic republic two weeks ago. Debris fell on his vehicle when a projectile was intercepted. "It is a great tragedy for a family whose sole breadwinner was lost," said Malick, flanked by Ali's three young children. "We have nothing to do with this war. It is unfortunate that the poor are being used as fuel for a conflict they have no part in," he told AFP.
