60 calls at the same time


the emergency number in Qatar is 999
 they get on average of 60 calls  at the same time
this is the number one has to call in case of medical emergency /fire /crime /accident might happen 
Qatar is such a multicultural place that the operators have to deal with these languages daily :
Arabic, English, French, Chinese, Filipino, Urdu

 I am really surprised reading this  - I thought that the number of Chinese residents in Qatar is very low  but hindi /malayalam /tamil is a must at 999 call center
