The Arab press reports famine among the tribes in Transjordania.
According to “Al Carmel” the tribe of Bnai Hmeida which is settled between Madha and Vadi Ulmujib, and the other tribes which were plundered during the raid of the Aludwan tribe, are suffering from starvation.
British officials, in cooperation with Emir Abdullah and the Transjordanian Government, are expected to take measures to relieve the famine but it is not yet known what is being done.
“A1 Carmel” adds that the condition of these tribes under the British Mandate and the Arab administration is worse than it was under the rule of the Turks.
