Qatar 2022 World Cup organisers appalled by work conditions

Qatar 2022 World Cup organisers say they are "appalled" by the findings of an investigation into the treatment of migrant workers in the country.
The Guardian reported Nepalese workers in Qatar "face exploitation and abuses that amount to modern-day slavery".
Tournament organisers says the Qatari government will study the allegations, while Fifa says it is "very concerned".
A Qatari statement read: "There is no excuse for any worker in Qatar to be treated in this manner."
The Guardian investigation claims:
At least 44 workers died between 4 June and 8 August because of heart-related issues or workplace accidents
That there is some evidence of forced labour on a major World Cup infrastructure project
Nepalese men have not been paid for months, with salaries retained and passports confiscated to limit their movements
Access to free drinking water on construction sites has been denied on some occasions
