3 Pinoys dead in Kuwait fire

THREE Filipino workers died in a fire that engulfed a building in Mangaf, Kuwait, the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) confirmed Thursday.

'The unfortunate news is that the three are identified as fatalities in a hospital in Kuwait, so they are in touch with the families of all affected OFWs (overseas Filipino workers), including those in the ICU (intensive care unit) and the three fatalities,' he said.
