Asian migrants stranded in Saudi after Qatari bosses ordered out

Asian migrants working as domestic staff and farmers are stranded in Saudi Arabia after their Qatari bosses were ordered to leave the kingdom. Qatar's National Human Rights Committee said yesterday that the workers from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Nepal have been left without accommodation and money. <br/><br/>Chairman of the Committe Ali bin Smaikh Al-Marri told newsmen in Doha that the workers were not allowed to travel into Qatar and now they are living illegally in Saudi Arabia and do not have basic needs. They have no shelter and cannot access money, he added<br/>'<br/>It may be recalled that four Arab countries, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Bahrain announced on 5th of this month suspension of all ties with Qatar over accusations that the emirate supports extremist groups- a claim Doha denies.<br/>'<br/><br/>
