Country’s Highest Poverty Rate in Ahwaz

It is noteworthy that 90 percent of the Ahwazi Arab people in rural areas are suffering from poverty and low income. They are overwhelmingly dependent on agriculture and fishing for their food, but these people have been left with no alternative source of income, after their entire arable lands along the banks of the Karoon River were forcibly confiscated by Iranian regime officials with very low compensation.
