More than 1 million Filipino overseas workers at risk amid Middle East crisis

Filipino carers have described racing to bomb shelters in Israel as the US-Israeli war in Iran sends missiles across the Middle East. More than 1.1 million overseas workers from the Philippines are based in the region, with over 96 per cent concentrated in five countries closely tied to the fighting, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain. One Philippine caregiver has already been killed during an air strike.
