#3 The Saudis and the rest of the Gulf "countries" have been donating money to their penurious brother Sunni states, but they have considerably less to give at the moment for some reason. It'll be better when oil prices go back up to the $100 range, Abu Uluque.

Give them some kind of voucher/loan to get started on renting a place, keep track of them so they can be repatriated in time.
