EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia during the 1910s. The image portrays a group of barefoot children huddled together on a dusty street, their outstretched hands pleading for alms from passersby. Their clothes are tattered and worn, and their faces bear the signs of hardship and poverty. Jeddah, then a bustling port city on the Red Sea, was a melting pot of diverse cultures and communities. The city had long been a gateway to the Arabian Peninsula for traders, pilgrims, and travelers from far-off lands. However, the harsh realities of poverty and inequality were a stark contrast to the wealth and prosperity that some enjoyed. The presence of beggar children on the streets of Jeddah was a common sight during this era. Many were orphans, abandoned or runaway children, or children of impoverished families who were forced to beg to survive. The lack of social safety nets and the prevalence of poverty made begging a necessary evil for many. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the past and the challenges that the people of Jeddah faced during this period. It also highlights the resilience and determination of the children, who despite their hardships, continued to hope for a better future. Today, Jeddah has transformed into a modern city, but the memory of this photograph serves as a reminder of the city's rich history and the struggles of its people.
