The news is a very sad one. God please help these people.

But it surprises me, how come these Nepalese wanted to be in Iraq for money as we all know that 12 Nepalese were killed about two years ago. Even Nepali government has barred anyone from going Iraq for work.

I don't really get this. People are ready to get killed over money. Are these people just illeterate / don't know what happened before? Or are these people real greedy? Are we really in that dire situation??

As Hakunaku noted, it takes more than a year just to pay off the debt they take to get there. The money that they are getting does not even seem any worth of the risk.

I don't know why Nepalese end up in a situation like this. It really saddens me.
