EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of the Zabbaleen community in Mokattam, Cairo, Egypt, circa 1995. The Zabbaleen, also known as the Zabbalin or Zabbaleen, are a group of people who have made a living by scavenging through the city's waste for over a century. In this image, we see some of their makeshift homes built amongst the rubbish tips. The scene is a stark reminder of the harsh realities of poverty and the challenges faced by those living in insanitary and unhygienic conditions. The smoke and stench rising from the smouldering rubbish heaps add to the sense of squalor and filth. The unclean environment is a stark contrast to the vibrant colors and patterns of the Zabbaleen's homes, which show their resourcefulness and creativity in transforming the waste into a living space. The image also highlights the importance of recycling and the role the Zabbaleen played in Cairo's waste management system before the introduction of modern waste disposal methods. Despite the difficult living conditions, the Zabbaleen community has a rich cultural heritage and a strong sense of community. The photograph offers a glimpse into their daily lives, revealing the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
