One of the problems with the disabled is that the family takes them out down the road and makes them beg from all the people and cars for money, when the family has enough to support the disabled person. So many people in yemen are professional beggars, from Ali Abdullah Salih to the one who can not walk. There we have Ali Abdullah Salih and AlQirbi wandering around Europe scrounging money, here we have even fake disabled who pretend so they can get a few rials.
