In this Monday, Nov. 29, 2016 photo, a red coffin that brought home the body of Nepali migrant worker from Saudi Arabia, lies on the ground empty after cremation rituals were completed at Swayambhunath stupa in Kathmandu, Nepal. The number of Nepali workers going abroad has more than doubled since the country began promoting foreign labor in recent years: from about 220,000 in 2008 to about 500,000 in 2015. Yet the number of deaths among those workers has risen much faster in the same period. In total, over 5,000 workers from this small country have died working abroad since 2008, more than the number of U.S. troops killed in the Iraq War. (AP Photo/Niranjan Shrestha)
