Amman, August 12 (Petra) – The Ministry of Social Development
arrested an Arab woman beggar on Wednesday after finding USD46,600
in her possession in downtown Amman.
The woman, according to the ministry statement, has a prior history
of professional begging activities and routinely converted her daily
cash collections into foreign currency.
The ministry added that the woman was referred to judicial
authorities for initiating legal prosecution.
To curb the vagrancy phenomenon, the ministry urged the public to
refrain from giving money directly to panhandlers, who often feign
illness or “extreme need,” and instead direct donations to Jordan’s
accredited charitable organizations.
In this context, the ministry said citizens can also report suspected
cases of street vagrancy to its dedicated hotline at 0793344330 or
through field inspection teams operating across the Kingdom.
