An ITV documentary reveals that over 21,000 foreign workers have died in Saudi Arabia's NEOM project, highlighting serious labor exploitation and human rights concerns.

Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 is an ambitious strategic framework launched in 2016 by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, aimed at transforming the Kingdom’s economy and society. This initiative seeks to reduce the country’s heavy dependence on oil by diversifying its economic base and fostering growth in sectors such as tourism, entertainment, and renewable energy. In response to the documentary’s claims, NEOM representatives stated that they require all contractors to comply with a strict code of conduct based on Saudi laws and international labor standards.
