A report by the NYT indicates that thousands of migrant workers from India and various other nations are facing a severe employment crisis in Dubai due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Yanick Obi, a welder from Cameroon, shared his struggle, stating, "I go to work every day, but there's no work." Similarly, Joy Vivanda, a domestic helper from the Philippines, described spending her days walking around Dubai and asking people she encounters if they are looking to hire a housemaid.
