MANILA, Philippines-A growing number of overseas Filipino workers have found themselves isolated in Saudi Arabia following a crackdown on undocumented workers in the kingdom.
Around 675 undocumented workers, including women and their children, flocked to the Philippine consulate in Jeddah last week to seek their government's help.
"They are setting up tents for shelter and their numbers are growing," said John Leonard Monterona, coordinator of the international migrant group Migrante.
