A video circulating on social media has drawn attention to the plight of a Kenyan woman who finds herself homeless on the streets of Saudi Arabia after her job contract came to an end. The heartbreaking footage shows her sleeping rough, with no place to call home.
The Desperate Situation
The Kenyan woman was discovered by two compassionate fellow Kenyan women who were willing to help her. They noticed that she had been sleeping on the streets for six days, and their hearts went out to her. Despite their act of kindness, the homeless woman refused to go home with them when they humbly offered assistance.
A Dire Circumstance
The video captures the woman sitting on the pavement, clutching a bottle of water. She wears a black buibui, and aside from the water, she has no other possessions. The two women who found her pleaded with her to follow them. They wanted to provide her with a place to stay, a bath, and a change of clothes. However, she adamantly refused, even as they assured her they meant no harm.
The Mystery of Fear
“Why do you fear us?” one of the women asked the lady in the buibui. The woman was adjusting her clothes and scratching her body, likely due to not having showered for six days. Despite their efforts, the homeless woman remained silent, shaking her head and rejecting their offer of help.
Social Media Reactions
The video has sparked sympathy and concern on social media. Users expressed their sorrow for the woman’s situation. Some urged the two women not to abandon her, emphasizing that she needed help despite her refusal. Others speculated about the reasons behind her fear and desperate circumstances.
A Parallel Story
In a similar vein, a TikTok video highlighted the dire situation of Kenyan men stranded in the Gulf. These men had been dismissed by their employers and were left without resources. They endured seven months of homelessness after losing their jobs.
As the world becomes more interconnected, stories like these remind us of the challenges faced by migrant workers and the importance of compassion and assistance in times of need.
