Saudi women working as maids in Qatar??

I know this has been discussed here before that Saudi women started working as housemaids in Saudi Arabia. I just read related news stating that they are working in Qatar. Attached you tube clip shows the pathetic condition of Saudi people under poverty line.

Do you think this news is true??
---------------------------------------------------------

Residents of Qatar are outraged over media reports that 30 Saudi women have had to work in the same “humiliating” conditions that were formerly deemed acceptable only for foreign migrant workers.
The women, ages 20 to 45, arrived in Qatar to be placed with families as maids, earning about $400 per month, slightly more than their mostly Asian and African counterparts, according to the Middle East and North Africa Financial Network (MENAFN).

One maids agency told newspapers that the demand for Saudi women had gone up sharply due to widespread fears that foreign maids practiced magic.
MENAFN went on to report that even more Saudi women had applied to work in Qatar.

Although Saudi Arabia projects an image of opulent prosperity, problems such as poverty, illiteracy and high unemployment rates persist. The video above is an excerpt from a report on poverty in Saudi Arabia by satellite news channel Al Arabiya.
