Around 50 workers from Ahmad Maher Hospital demonstrated today in Magles el-Shaab Street, in front of the Ministry of Health, demanding contracts and bonuses. Some of the workers I spoke with said they have been working in the hospital for 15 years without contracts, at a basic monthly salary of LE70, which go up to LE200 only with the incentives. The workers also said they were not given food allowance. Instead they’re given one meal a day composed of one egg and a piece of cheese, whose money is deducted from the monthly pay!

The Monument for Medical Workers — quiet dignity on Plekhanovskaya Street
There’s a certain stillness around the Monument for Medical Workers at Hospital No. 3 — not silence, because hospitals are never truly quiet, but a kind of respectful pause in the middle of a busy street. You walk past it and feel that subtle shift in atmosphere, the way people slow down just a little, the way the monument seems to hold its own space despite the constant movement around it.
It’s not a grand statue meant to dominate the skyline. It’s modest, almost humble — which somehow makes it more powerful. It stands there like a reminder of all the work that happens behind the hospital doors, the kind of work most people never see but everyone depends on.
Stone collectors and crushers. Stones are dredged from Dholai river in the north-eastern part of Bangladesh. It is a massive stone production center with strings of small companies operating in the area devoid of monopoly by any one company. The stones are then used for constructions in every part of Bangladesh. The day laborers here gets less than 2USD per day, so some workers had their whole family, including their young children to work here to dig up or crush stones.
Workers have to set up shop in the middle of a very busy intersection at the corner of Washington and Milk Streets.
