Authorities accuse real estate owners of violations and greed, saying those factors contributed towards the incident
\n DUBAI
\nA fire that broke out in a building housing workers in the city of Mangaf in southern Kuwait early on Wednesday has killed at least 41 people, the country\u2019s deputy prime minister Sheikh Fahad Yusuf Saud Al-Sabah said during a visit to the site.
\nThe deputy PM accused real estate owners of violations and greed, saying those factors contributed towards the incident. \u201cUnfortunately, the greed of real estate owners is what leads to these matters,\u201d said Sheikh Fahad, who also runs the interior and defence ministries.
\nThe fire was reported to authorities at 6:00 am local time, Major General Eid Rashed Hamad said.
\n\u201cThe building in which the fire occurred was used to house workers, and there was a large number of workers there. Dozens were rescued, but unfortunately, there were many deaths as a result of inhaling smoke from the fire,\u201d another senior police commander told state TV.
\n\u201cWe always alert and warn against\u201d cramming too many workers into housing accommodation, he said, without providing details on the workers\u2019 type of employment or place of origin.
\nThe fire was contained and authorities were investigating its cause, officials said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
