Current state of events
- The issue of poverty and hunger is present throughout the world. The real issue is that poverty and hunger still exist. As long as these things are still present in our world, the issue will still be there.
- The issue of material poverty is that people people lack a necessary means of survival. This can include a lack of food, or inadequate amounts of food, water, healthcare, shelter, or security. This can lead to poverty of the soul.
- The issue of hunger is pretty self-explanatory. It means that people lack access to decent, healthy food and drink.
- About a quarter of people in Saudi Arabia live below the poverty line. The Saudi government releases as little as they can about poverty in their country so as to keep a good image, but about 25% is a rough estimate.
- Food insecurity is not knowing where your next meal will come from, always relying on someone else for your next meal, and/or not having enough food at each meal. This affects many Saudis, including those not below the poverty line.
- The typical Saudi diet is the same as an average Arabic diet, which includes a lot of lamb and dairy.
Hunger
- There are many health issues related to hunger. The main cause for problems in Saudi Arabia is that people cannot afford healthy food, so they buy very unhealthy food. This leads to problems like diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure. This is all caused by the poverty of the lower class of people.
Jobs
- Jobs are not easy to find in Saudi Arabia. Many jobs are exclusive to men. This causes division throughout the country due to women wanting more opportunities, but they are few and far between in Saudi Arabia, just like most middle eastern countries.
Homes
- There are many types of homes in Saudi Arabia. In urban areas, people who have houses or apartments are known to live very well. They have all sorts of technology, and it is a very modern place. However, in most rural areas, people live in very poor conditions. Most rural areas have little clean water, little technology, and a general lack of resources.

This current event is demonstrative of the current situation in Saudi Arabia. The country's leaders and wealthy are spending money on things like weapons and not helping the impoverished in their own country. It is hard to get out of poverty when those who are in power are not willing to help you.
