Main South poverty rates vs. Iraq poverty rates

"Nearly 5.6 millions Iraqis are living below the poverty line, according to our most recent studies of Iraq's 28 million inhabitants."

From the United Nations News Services

Now, I know poverty is different in Main South and Worcester, I see a lot of it everyday. Nonetheless, interesting to see comparable rates of poverty. We changed course in the last election, why not think global and act local?
