Hello there! Many of todays areas of the far spread rural middle east exist within larger deserts. For this reason it is very difficult to "Roll-out" technology, medicine, clothing, and other necessities associated with 21st century living. Many of these people resort to farming and other forms of homesteading in order to establish themselves in the ever punishing land. Many poor rural middle eastern families live together, as is not only custom, but economically practical.
