Children playing in the City of Garbage

Mansheya Nasir is an overwhelmingly Coptic district of Cairo, known also under the name of Garbage City. Here kids play in the middle of main street oblivious of the stench and decay that surrounds them. The garbage sorting and disposal workers are actually envied by the other Egyptians and regarded as rich in comparison.
