The answer

It is forbidden to work and reside in tourist cities and villages where sins and transgressions are widespread, because that is considered cooperation in sin and aggression. This applies whether the work involves their construction and maintenance or the provision of services therein, as this is considered aiding transgressors in their transgressions. Furthermore, there is the exposure to forbidden things. As for the money obtained from insurance companies, it is permissible for the third party who receives their wages from it, even if there is still an issue with the work itself. It is recommended to abandon such work in pursuit of what is lawful.
