EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the harsh realities of poverty and filth, the Zabbaleen of Mokattam, Cairo, Egypt, have made a living by scavenging through the city's mountains of waste for over seven decades. In this poignant image, a man catches a pig from the rubbish tip, a creature that will soon become a precious source of food for his family. The Zabbaleen, also known as the Zabbalin or Zabbaleen, have turned the art of recycling into a way of life, sifting through the city's discarded plastic, metal, and glass to extract valuable materials that can be sold for a meager income. The scene behind him reveals a makeshift house constructed from corrugated tin, a testament to their resourcefulness and resilience. The tip, a towering heap of refuse, is a smoky and stinking mound that belches thick plumes of acrid smoke, a constant reminder of the hazardous conditions they face every day. The stench of rotting waste permeates the air, yet the Zabbaleen continue their tireless work, sorting through the rubbish to eke out a living. Despite the hardships, their community remains tight-knit, bound together by their shared struggle for survival in the heart of one of the world's most bustling and chaotic cities.
