In Qatar's capital Doha, apartment blocks of thousands of foreign workers living in the same area were evacuated. There will be arrangements for the stay of football fans during the World Cup. Workers evicted from the apartment have told this to the news agency Reuters.

 

More than 12 buildings were evacuated

The workers said that more than 12 buildings have been evacuated by the authorities. This forced mainly Asian and African workers to take shelter on the sidewalks. The move comes less than four weeks before the start of the global soccer tournament to be held on November 20.

 

Two hours are given to vacate the building

 

Residents of Doha's Al Mansoura district said 1,200 people lived in one building.
