"Middle East" is not a country but a region that is not clearly defined politically. Many areas of the Middle Eastern region are extremely poor and poverty stricken, especially for women and children; Yemen is a good example. However, several areas and countries, like UAE, are wealthy thanks to oil exports and tourism. It is not fair nor accurate to claim that the "Middle East" is poor or not. That is the equivalent of asking if the Americas are poor? The US is very wealthy while many South American states are terribly poor.
