Kuwait to deport expatriates in illegal housing following building fire that killed 3 OFWs

Following a significant fire in Al-Mangaf, Kuwait is intensifying its crackdown on housing violations, with plans to deport expatriate workers found in illegal accommodations within three to four days. A government official stated that this measure underscores Kuwait’s resolve to enforce housing laws and maintain safe living conditions.

The official also noted that no additional shelters would be constructed for those displaced by housing violations, as the current facilities are considered adequate. This decision is part of broader efforts to improve living standards and swiftly address the consequences of the Al-Mangaf fire, ensuring that affected families receive prompt assistance while maintaining rigorous enforcement of housing regulations.
