The state government has allotted Rs 30 lakh from Chief Minister's disaster relief fund (CMDRF) to Keralites who sustained injuries in Kuwait fire accident. Thirty Malayalis were injured in the accident. The government will provide Rs 1 lakh each. An amount of Rs 5 lakh was earlier allotted for the families of the deceased. 

A deadly fire broke out in Mangaf, Ahmadi Governorate, a southern Kuwait area in June 2024 claiming 49 lives including Malayalis. The blaze had engulfed a six-storeyed building. The cause of the fire was traced to an electrical short-circuit in the quarters of an Egyptian security guard, igniting a blaze that quickly spread throughout the building. The fire originated on the ground floor of Block-4.

 The building accommodated 195 individuals across various apartments. The fire broke out in the early morning hours when most workers were asleep. While some died when they jumped off the building in a desperate bid to escape the fire, most fatalities occurred from asphyxiation due to smoke inhalation.
