Reports indicate that the fire originated ‘reportedly’ in a kitchen on a lower floor and quickly spread throughout the building, trapping many residents inside. Sheikh Fahad Yusuf Saud Al-Sabah, Kuwait’s deputy prime minister, confirmed the tragic toll during his visit to the scene.

Authorities are now investigating the cause of the fire, with a senior police commander emphasizing concerns over the overcrowded living conditions that contributed to the severity of the incident. However, details regarding the workers’ specific employment and origin have not yet been disclosed.

In response to the catastrophe, the Indian embassy in Kuwait has set up a dedicated helpline (+965-65505246) and assured all possible assistance to those affected.
