The World Bank and IMF are calling for support for Middle Eastern nations, arguing that higher food and oil prices, and a jobless economic recovery, will harm nations in the region. The World Bank and IMF are saying that, in the long run, lack of involvement in the Middle East will cause a downturn in the economy - and an increase in poverty.
