Dozens of Bangladeshi workers have been left without basic necessities after a fire, the Maldivian Red Crescent said Sunday as it appealed for public donations.
The fire, at a housing ministry labour quarter, was extinguished shortly after it was reported around 3am Saturday.
The expatriates who were asleep inside the building were taken to the Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital. They escaped without serious injuries but suffered from heavy smoke inhalation, the MNDF’s fire and rescue service said.
The Malé branch of the MRC wants to provide the 55 workers with clothing, bedding and toiletries.
