Restrictions increased in the aftermath of the 1990-1991 Iraqi occupation of Kuwait. Bidun who fled to Iraq to escape the air war found themselves stranded there when Kuwait refused to allow the reentry of all but a few.32 Bidun government employees were dismissed en masse, and only a small portion were later rehired. Beginning in 1993 Bidun were ... required to pay fees to utilize health care centers, although those services remained free for Kuwaiti citizens. Bidun not employed by the government found themselves facing serious obstacles when seeking to register births, marriages, divorces, and deaths, because they lacked the required identification and were typically required to go through lengthy security checks before the Ministry of Interior would issue a letter of no objection.
