India's migrants suffer UAE demise - 20 Dec 09

The economic crisis has hit countries around the world, including the once rich and booming emirate of Dubai.

But the collapse of the real estate market there has left thousands of migrant workers without a job.

Many of them come from the Indian state of Kerala. More than two million of its residents work across the Gulf.
