Sunil from southern Nepal moved to the United Arab Emirates in March, just before Nepal went into a complete lockdown for the next four months.

He faced financial problems right from his first month in the Gulf state due to the Covid-19 pandemic. His employer deducted 300 dirhams from the monthly salary of 1,000 dirhams.

“Even months after the pandemic, I am only paid when there is work. On days I don’t have work, I stay in my room,” said Sunil. “There is not much to do.”
