At Least 23 South Asian Workers Killed in US-Israel Strikes on Iran, Pakistani Families Mourn

At least 23 migrant workers from Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh have been killed or gone missing amid recent US and Israeli strikes on Iran. This toll profoundly affects families in Pakistan, especially as many workers had limited access to emergency services or means to escape danger in the Gulf. Going forward, the ongoing Iran conflict threatens further casualties among vulnerable migrant communities and raises urgent concerns about worker protections and repatriations.
