Egyptian homes in danger of collapse

Youseff Ibrahim (age 62), an unemployed Egyptian resident of the Bulaq district of Cairo, is seen in his dilapidated family home May 22, 2013. Ibrahim's shoddy house is under constant threat of collapse and was ordered demolished five years ago. But like many poor residents of the Bulaq area, he has neither the means to repair it or anywhere else to move with his wife Sania and son Magdy, so the family remains despite the danger.
