Pakistani Workers

Three Pakistani workers died in a tragic car accident in Saudi Arabia. The victims were severely injured in the crash. Rescue teams arrived quickly and rushed them to a nearby hospital. Unfortunately, all three succumbed to their injuries shortly after.

The deceased were Mushtaq Ahmed, Imdad Ullah, and Bakht Muneer Khan. They were from Kakad, a locality in Upper Dir district, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Two of them were cousins, and all belonged to the same village. The victims’ bodies were transported back to Pakistan for burial.

Funeral prayers were held for the three men in Kakad, their hometown. Hundreds of mourners attended the emotional ceremony. The men were laid to rest in their family’s ancestral graveyard. The community came together to honor their lives.

This accident comes just a week after another tragedy in Saudi Arabia. Forty-five Indian pilgrims died in a bus crash near Medina. The bus, traveling from Mecca to Medina, collided with a diesel tanker. Only one person survived the crash.

Earlier this year, on July 26, another fatal accident took place in Saudi Arabia. Seven Pakistani Umrah pilgrims from Buner, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, were killed. Four of the victims were children. Their family members were also injured in the crash.

In 2024, the Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment (BE&OE) helped send a record 727,381 skilled workers from Pakistan to work in other countries. Most of these workers went to Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Oman, with many also finding jobs in European countries.

The BE&OE credited its success to better marketing, more support for workers, and stronger relationships with international employers. This increase in workers going abroad is expected to bring more money back to Pakistan through remittances, which will help the economy and reduce unemployment at home.
