‘Every single soul is valuable’
The spokesperson said the company has been left in a state of deep grief.
“We are all in deep sorrow and shock. Every single soul is valuable to us, and we are mourning the loss of all of them…The way they died has been particularly heartbreaking as some of their bodies were disfigured, which is why the identification process took longer.”
He said the families of all the deceased and injured have been informed, and Dubai Police are also in touch with them.
Four still hospitalised
Of the nine people injured in the crash, four remain under treatment in two different hospitals as of Wednesday night. Three of them are in intensive care: two are in critical condition, while the third is reportedly out of danger. The fourth injured worker is in a stable condition and is being treated in a general ward. The remaining five injured workers were discharged earlier.
Dh1 million relief fund
Under the humanitarian programme, the family of each of the seven deceased will receive Dh100,000, while Dh180,000 has been set aside for the nine injured survivors based on medical and recovery needs.
A further Dh70,000 covers emergency travel and accommodation for family members, and Dh50,000 has been earmarked to support the education of children from affected families.
The spokesperson said the company is deeply grateful for the gesture.
“Our hearts go out to the families who lost these hardworking members. We are doing our best to support all affected families. We are touched by the generous support extended by Dr Shamsheer and would like to thank him wholeheartedly for his noble gesture,” he added.
