Poverty in Saudi Arabia

whenever I think of Saudi Arabia, I get a picture of well-fed people, rich people and car$ cuz they hv so mch m$nney & oil. The problem is........... the poor, no, the Ummah doesn't get attention. I hope they will try to help other Islamic Countries in the future, is there any NGOs over there that donates money to Gaza, Palestine or Iraq?

Theres enough Money in Saudi Arabia to support every single person in their kingdom but the Saudi's are more bothered about lining their own pockets, at the expense of leaving their own people for dead.

Princess raps S Arabia on rights abuses

A Saudi princess has criticized the Riyadh regime for corruption, poverty and serious violations of human rights in the oil-rich Persian Gulf Kingdom.


Princess Basma Bint Saud Bin Abdul Aziz, who is a niece of King Abdullah and a social activist, told British media she would not remain silent about what is happening in her native country.

The princess, currently living in London, slammed what she called the lack of fairness in the distribution of wealth and power between the loyal family and ordinary people.

“You have 2,000 [royals] who are multi-millionaires, who have all the power, all the wealth and no-one can even utter a word against it because they are afraid to lose what they have," Princess Basma said.

"If you are poor man and you steal, your hand is cut off after three offences. But if you are a rich man, nobody will say anything to you," she added.

She also accused Saudi officials of ineptitude, adding they are not held accountable for what they do.

“We have ministers who are incapable of doing what has been ordered from above because there is no follow-up, because there are no consequences,” the 47-year-old princess said.

Several right groups and international bodies including the Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have frequently condemned the Saudi regime for their widespread violation of human rights.

Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world that bans women from driving. The ban is not enforced by law but is a religious fatwa imposed by the country's Wahhabi clerics.

In addition to driving prohibition, women in Saudi Arabia must have written approval from a male guardian, which could be a father, husband, brother or son, to leave the country, work or even undergo certain medical operations.

i always thought richest people stayed there.

The puppet regime of saudi arabia will soon fall Insha'Allah.

Poverty exists in every country in the world. Obviously some are not bad as others. You will never find someone in UK starving to death unless they are children, elderly or any other vulnerable people that meant to be look after but are neglected.
