Thousands of Sri Lankan workers set to depart for Israel despite war
Thu, Nov 23, 2023, 08:41 pm SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Nov 23 (Reuters) - Supermarket manager Laknath Dias says the economic crisis in his native Sri Lanka is too much for him to bear. He is getting ready to fly to Israel in December to work as a farmhand for nearly 10 times the pay, despite the war with Hamas.
Dias is among 20,000 workers that Sri Lanka, desperate for dollars and remittances, plans to send to Israel starting early next month to work in the farm and construction sectors, a Sri Lankan minister told Reuters on Thursday.
