Garbage City is part of Cairo's Orthodox Christian sector. One of the largest and oldest churches in Cairo is the Cave Church, actually built into the side of a cliff. Garbage City is next to it and it's residence spend their lives sorting through garbage. They collect it from the rest of the city, sort the valuables out, then get rid of the rest. The people aren't necessarily poor, but have adapted to this role and have become quite good at it. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the people are very nice and hospitable. I had wanted to take this boys picture early on in the day, but he didn't want me to. I didn't push it, but as I was leaving Garbage City, he approached and told me it was okay. Cairo, Egypt.

Our garbage dumpster is all the way at the end of that path, and trying to lift a 50 gallon garbage can full of disgusting wet garbage when the ground is frozen is an exercise in futility. And you have to take a shower, and the stink never goes away

Its hard not to question the reverence of cows seeing sites like this all the time.
As I previously mentioned, cows are somewhat sacred amongst the people (no beef here!). They are used for their milk and some may be put to work in farms. However, when they no longer serve a purpose, they are released into street, where they are forced to find their own meals.
Its common to see them picking through garbage for a morsel to eat, and often line the center of roads with cars and bikes traveling within a few inches of them.
I'm not saying to slaugter them after their purpose expires, but their life is far more difficult. Maybe continued support? Although that'd be hard to justify when the people themselves are hungry...

41 security personell died in the fires, and Israel was given aerial assistance by many countries, to help put the fires out.
