Our brothers and sisters in Jeddah Tent City needs food and water!
The terrible heat, combined with lack of food, adequate accommodations and medical assistance from the Aquino government is taking its toll on the stranded OFWs, especially the children. The mosquitos are also a big problem, as well as the lack of toilet and sanitation facilities.”
The OFWs are very grateful for all the help coming from Migrante and other Filipino communities in Saudi. “But these, of course, are not enough. What they need are urgent on-site help and medical assistance, which the Phil Congen in Jeddah has recently disallowed. All PH officials in Jeddah have to do is to go out of their air-conditioned offices and assist our OFWs.”
The OFWs are calling for the recall of Amb. Tago “for his consistent neglect and apathy towards distressed OFWs in Saudi” and for the resignation of Yabes and Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Sec. Rosalinda Baldoz “for their incompetence, inefficiency and insincerity in assisting OFWs in distress.”
The distressed OFWs in Jeddah Tent City is asking for the help of fellow OFWs in and around Saudi Arabia.
