Iran Conflict Disrupts Dubai Jobs, Affecting Migrant Workers' Employment and Wages
Thousands of migrant workers in Dubai, including Indians and Filipinos, face job losses and salary cuts amid disruptions caused by the Iran-US-Israel conflict in the Gulf. The conflict, involving missile and drone strikes on the UAE, has impacted tourism, aviation, and businesses reliant on foreign visitors. While UAE officials describe the economic slowdown as temporary, many workers report ongoing difficulties finding employment, with some companies cutting jobs or halting hiring. Workers like Filipina domestic worker Joy Vivanda continue daily searches for work to support families abroad.
