Sana'a, Oct 8 – Three people were killed and 14 injured as a result of a strong whirlwind that blew on Al-Sabeen Zone south of the capital city of Sana'a on October 6.
Witnesses said that the whirlwind caused the collapse of a 20-meter steel post where tens of workers had been working on the project of President's mosque. The project workers confirmed that supervisors in the executive company do not care about safety means but they only care about rapid and tremendous production of the workers.
The injured people were taken to Dr. al-Huraibi Hospital, Al-Tadhamon Hospital and Al-Mutwakil Hospital.
The workers hope that the executive company will stand abreast of the families of the injured and give them their rights. “We want to be ensured that our rights will be delivered and those injured will be treated. I am sure the President himself will take care of this issue.” one of the workers said.
In this regard, the workers of the project demonstrated and asked the company administration to apply safety procedures and insure their rights by making contracts to guarantee their lives if something bad happened to them.
