Three Filipino workers died in an early morning fire in Dubai, the Department of Foreign Affairs said Wednesday.
The Filipinos, whose names were withheld, were asleep when fire broke in their rented apartment, the DFA said, quoting a report of the Philippine Consulate General in Dubai.
“When they woke up, the apartment’s receiving room and kitchen were all in flames and no exit can be used,†the DFA said.
Three other Filipinos were able to escape through the window, said Philippine Consul General Benito Valeriano.
He said two of the survivors suffered minor injuries while the third sustained second degree burns in the face, back, arms and toes and is now confined at the Surgical Intensive Care Unit of Al Rashid. - Agence France Presse
