Nepalis Are In Trouble

When the earthquake hit Nepal it messed a lot of things up like homes, jobs, families and more. A man named Sabin gave BBC a inside look at his life . The men to get jobs travel to the gulf away from their families and out of their natural surroundings. Men are dying at the gulf because the climate is completely different than that of Nepal. The men are dying from heat exhaustion because they are working all day in the sun. Sabin stated ,"Many who go to the Gulf find they can't exist in the conditions there," says Sabin."Some die because it's too hot. But some die of cold - after hours working in the heat the labourers take a break. They often go into an air-conditioned place and then fall asleep. And they never wake up. We call it the killing room." Remittances from workers overseas are vital for Nepal's economy. Most people live on less than $2 a day. The country's struggle to fight its way out of poverty has been difficult.(Told by BBC) Women are trying to survive at home with no men around they have to fend for themselves."It's not only about the money," says Sabin, who is back home from his job in Qatar for the first time in two years. "So many of the men have gone away there's no-one left here now to repair the earthquake damage and build the houses. No-one to do the pipes, the electricity - they're all gone."(Told by BBC) They have a long way before everything is ok and things go Nepal's way.
