Controversy

An article published in The Economist [25 April 2020] entitled "Covid in the camps" and dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic in the Middle East, mentions that Hayat Al-Fahad has publicly called for the deportation of migrant workers of Kuwait to its desert lands.

"Hayat al-Fahad, a Kuwaiti actress, said in a television interview that the country was "fed up" with the foreigners who make up two-thirds of the population and suggested putting them in the desert".[4]
