## Prediction

In the next 24 hours, humanitarian impacts in the UAE will focus on localized casualties and disruptions among foreign workers and port staff in Fujairah and affected coastal zones. Current reporting already notes injuries among Indian nationals and fires in industrial areas, suggesting a risk of additional injuries from follow-on strikes, fires, and evacuation incidents. Port and industrial closures or reduced shifts will displace workers temporarily and strain local medical facilities, though the UAE’s capacity should prevent systemic breakdown. The main risks are to migrant communities with limited social protection.

## Drivers

- Reports of three Indian nationals injured in Fujairah drone attack
- Multiple confirmations of fires and explosions at Fujairah oil hub and ships off UAE coast
- Renewed missile alerts and interceptions over UAE cities including Dubai
