Children in Egypt’s “Valley of Angels” are forced to scavenge for scrap metal, risking their lives due to extreme poverty and lack of basic services. Locals refer to the dangerous practice as needing to return “again and again,” highlighting its cyclical nature. The area, known for its dangerous terrain, requires navigating abandoned military equipment—referred to locally as “the tank”—to collect sellable metal. This hazardous "harvest of death," as it’s been called, is a consequence of systemic issues impacting the community. The situation underscores the desperation families face when survival depends on such perilous work. Mada Masr originally reported on the issue, shedding light on this grim reality. This practice is a direct response to widespread economic hardship.
