For millions of foreign workers in the Mideast, the Iran war has made life even more precarious. At least 28 were killed in missile and drone attacks before a fragile ceasefire took effect in early April. Now they face an even sharper version of a long-standing dilemma: Keep working in the Gulf, where wages are much higher, hoping that the truce endures, or return to already poor countries where prices have soared because of the conflict.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has begun offering new appointments to disaster workers whose contracts were not renewed in January. This move reverses a controversial decision that led to a lawsuit by labor unions, scientific groups, and local governments. U.S. Attorney Craig H. Missakian informed a U.S. District Court in San Francisco about the new appointments Friday. The decision follows months of uncertainty over the future of FEMA's term-limited disaster workers, who make up roughly half the agency's workforce. It also comes after FEMA reinstated 14 employees who were on paid administrative leave.
