Scope and content
They are reporting that Naser Mousa is a poor family man, because his late father left him with a lot of debt and a blind wife and only a few pieces of land. The lenders took over his land and want to buy all of it. He is roaming the streets, he has no clothes, nothing to sleep on, he is sleeping among other beggars on the streets, because his house was also confiscated. He is begging to be accepted in Jerusalem and to live with some aid from the Holy Community, like the other poor people of Jerusalem. He would like to work, because, in time, he might be able to buy back his property from the lenders or at least part of it, so that he can go back to his village again.
