What is Kidney Belt?
1.
The organ-legging area that stretches from Egypt in the west, to Iraq in the east (including Jordan).
This 3rd-World area has witnessed some of the largest organ-legging activity (e.g. kidneys that are in constant demand!) in recent modern times that it has been given a nome-de-'Belt': Kidney Belt!
Organ-leggers in Jordan -- a country part of the Kidney Belt in the poor Middle-East are profiting from a declining economic state and this is an alarming issue: many desperate, unemployed young men have no other choice but to go to an illegal clinic and risk their lives to sell their kidneys for 2000-3500$ a pop!
