Arabic term or phrase: الغلابة

Starving people/class


Explanation:
This term reminds me by "Curse of the Starving class" a play which I studied in in the 3rd year. It was written by Shepard in the late 1970s, who applied his unconventional dramatic vision to a more conventional dramatic form, the family tragedy.

Also, the term is included in the link below:
