Egypt has 90 million inhabitants in a cultivable area of less than 50,000 km2.

30 million people in Egypt are children under 17 years of age, of which 16.5 million live in poverty, while 7.5 million live in extreme poverty.

In other Middle Eastern countries the situation is similar, often worsened by bloody wars.

The richest oil regimes waste millions on weapons, wars and obscene luxuries while the masses suffer the worst conditions of poverty and quality of life.

Note: Egypt is considered poor who earn less than $ 1.82 per day and indigent who has an income of less than $ 1.40 per day.
