1. Doesn’t make it better, the number should technically be irrelevant. even if it are just a few hundred it’s still terrible and should be avoided at all costs. Any project for that matter should avoid deaths, not just the World Cup. So saying “it’s from past projects” is not an excuse either.

2. Qatar obviously is gonna downplay the number, it’s not like they gonna admit to being responsible for 6500 deaths. They obviously will say the numbers from the guardian are false/different.

3. If they died from old age it would basically mean they would’ve hired elderly, wich would be inhumane too. natural causes would be possible but not to that extend.

4. The word of embassies is way stronger than the word of Qatar on this one. Just because Qatar says it’s wrong doesn’t mean it actually is. as I said they will obviously downplay it. The whole event is one big attempt to whitewash themselves, so why not lie to make yourself look better. and ofcource the BBC is gonna write a article because that’s what they do, doesn’t bring more credibility for that matter.

Seral things are wrong with what Qatar is saying. Whatever the number is, workforces in Qatar are treated terrible and Qatar is and remains a corrupt county where woman, and LGBTQ are oppressed.

And how exactly does that make anything better…let’s say it’s 500 and not the probably more accurate number of 6500…that’s still 500 innocent dead people dying in terrible circumstances just for a few week long football game…this shitshow should’ve never even have started from the beginning. Dear FIFA, think twice next time before picking a rich corrupt Middle Eastern countries with no human rights and a agenda to whitewash themselves for a shitton of crash.

Your real quick to saying it’s false information, yet I don’t see you disproving it’s either…show your “proof” then…
