The death toll in a fire that broke out at a workers' accommodation in Qatar last Wednesday has risen to 13, sources told Gulf Times.
On Sunday, two people who were under treatment at Hamad General Hospital died and their bodies were moved to the mortuary.
However, the identities of the victims were not known.
At least three more workers are battling for life.
Eleven people died when the fire broke out at 6pm and their bodies were charred beyond recognition, the sources said. They were all sleeping after their shift.
Efforts are underway to identify the victims.
They were working for a contracting firm, executing a hotel resort project near Learaig interchange on the Salwa Road (Exit 24), about 20km north of Abu Samra border post.
The cause of the fire is still not known.
The Ministry of Interior said 12 workers sustained injuries and were undergoing treatment at a hospital.
It is not known if all those who died worked for the same company.
