Poverty in Jordan

Posted by Hala in Around the World, Current Events, General, Jordan, Society & Culture.

Seriously, how poor are people? I was reading Mohammed Omar’s blog when I saw a comment (Third one) posted under a post titled “Visa Visa” that made me feel really enraged!

Some people might think it is inappropriate, others might think it is sick. And in a way it is, which makes me wonder: What is going on in Jordan? Are people’s lives worth nothing now? How far are people willing to go to put an end or a limit, at least, to the extreme poverty? How sad.

And prices continue to rise endlessly …

    Everything goes to an end Hala, sooner or later..
    And what the government is really underestimating is the power of starvation!
    A hungry man is a lethal weapon, and it’s only a matter of time till people in Jordan become that hungry..

    I am sorry to say this, but poverty exists in Jordan, and most of them is because people dont want to work…they want everything for free!!

    I agree some people are plain lazy and ungrateful. However, I think the government needs to come up with a better plan before something serious happens.
