Workers employed in construction sector
Reports indicate that the workers were sent to Israel under a government-supported programme to fill labour shortages in the country’s construction sector.
Despite the risks created by the ongoing conflict, many of them believe that returning to India would affect their earnings and the financial support they provide to their families.
Higher wages encourage workers to stay
Officials said the workers are receiving comparatively better wages, accommodation and other facilities in Israel, which is one of the main reasons they are reluctant to leave their jobs.
Many labourers have reportedly told authorities that they are prepared to continue working while following safety instructions issued by local authorities.
Embassy monitoring situation
Meanwhile, the Indian Embassy and government agencies have issued advisories and are closely monitoring the situation.
A 24×7 helpline has been activated so that Indian nationals can seek assistance in case of emergencies or security concerns.
