Manshiet Nasser is the largest squatter area in Cairo, populated mostly by Zabbaleen, or trash collectors who emigrated from rural Egypt in the 1950s. Three hundred and fifty thousand people live in the area, which suffers from poor living and environmental conditions, inadequate services, and lack of infrastructure.
