26 Year Old Construction Worker Dies After Rabat Fall

Mohammed Kasey Hashem Alkhateeb has been identified as the 26 year old worker who died four days after falling at a construction site near Rabat.

The death coincides with the day a vigil for Jean Paul Sofia, another victim of construction for whom a public inquiry has not been opened, leading to mass backlash.The report of the accident came last Thursday after the Syrian national who lived in Cospicua suffered injuries when falling from a height of one-storey during work in Triq Alessandro Curmi, Rabat.

Mohammed was one of two construction site accident victims last week, with a 47-year-old Moroccan man from San Ġwann falling from a height on Friday morning.

Mohammed’s passing was announced on social media, with activist Omar Rababah sharing an image of the victim and writing: ‘Tonight, for you as well’, in reference to the vigil for Sofia near Castille.
