BBC Two - Life at 50°C, The Gulf: Killer Heat

Ahead of the World Cup, we hear about those who’ve paid a heavy price working in the Gulf.

Ahead of the World Cup, BBC News uncovers the hidden stories of some men who’ve sacrificed vital organs - and even their lives - to work in the Gulf.

This film examines the impact of extreme heat on migrant workers in the Gulf. It focuses on the large number of sudden, unexpected deaths - recorded as due to heart failure - among Nepali workers in Qatar. The film also examines the role of heat exposure on Nepali workers in the UAE, many of whom return home with chronic kidney disease, leaving them in need of dialysis for the rest of their lives. With the next year set to be one of the hottest years on Earth, Life at 50°C presents the human impact of our changing climate.
