A report reveals that around 21,000 foreign workers have died and 100,000 are missing since 2017 during the construction of megaprojects in Saudi Arabia. Many workers faced dangerous conditions and reported severe mistreatment. The projects are part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 initiative, aimed at diversifying the economy. Notable projects include The Line, a $500 billion linear city, which has faced delays and rising costs. Neom, the company overseeing The Line, stated it is investigating the claims and requires contractors to adhere to local and international labor standards.
