The Hindu
The admission comes after the European Parliament urged nations not to take part in Expo, citing the U.A.E.’s “inhumane practices against foreign workers”
Dubai's Expo 2020 on Saturday acknowledged that five workers had been killed on site during construction of the massive world's fair, revealing for the first time overall statistics for worker fatalities.
Expo previously said that its 200,000 labourers who built the site worked some 240 million hours in its construction.
It had not offered any overall statistics previously on worker fatalities, injuries or coronavirus infections despite repeated requests from The Associated Press and other journalists.
