Life in Mokattam district of Cairo, "the garbage city"

A queue of trucks waiting for the garbage is discharged in the streets of Mokattam (the garbage city of Cairo). "The Garbage City" is a district of Cairo where the Christian population called "Zabbaleen" works thanks to the garbage of the entire city of Cairo that is brought here to be sorted and recycled and resold. The livelihood of this population depends exclusively from waste of Egyptian megalopolis. Il Cairo, Egypt on 15 July 2019 (Photo by Simone Bergamaschi/NurPhoto)
