In Egypt, tens of thousands of children wander the streets of the capital, Cairo. They survive as best they can amid desperate poverty and violence. Some NGOs, such as France's SAMU Social, are trying to help these vulnerable children. Our reporters went to meet these struggling youngsters.

Seeing homeless children is especially sad, they've done nothing wrong to be neglected by their own society like that.
homeless children are only one problem in Egypt... the Egyptian society is not particularly biased against children. It's all the oppression, poverty, corruption, exploitation that the country suffers from, including in part by past colonialism & present neo/colonialism... all of this affects many families who cannot take care well of their children, & the government is corrupt, so it doesn't spend much public funding on helping the marginalized of its population!
Maybe if they staid under uk rules
@@nohatarek6153 That's a lie, people keep getting kids, 6-8 kids per woman, and naturally they fall into poverty, the government has moved about 16 million poor people into decent homes and provided them with jobs and is raising the minimum wage and re educating them and 900,000 get out of the cycle of poverty every year, but it's not fast enough since the poor multiply more than the rich and educated
The person who suggested killing the street children is a psychopath. WTf is wrong with him
T Tay Bay he’s a capitalist that’s what’s wrong
@mumad usman haiłan you are
He's part of a silent majority...
I'm tearful
Watching some children at the age of my daughters and sons is too painful to stand
Egypt needs a social revolution not a political one
This is tragic and it's been happening all over the world for centuries. More people need to take responsibility for their countries homeless problems and help these people with intervention and this will help a great deal. It only takes one kind person to pass it forward and help someone in need.
if govt's can't do it, who would? real world doesn't have saviors.
That little boy who wants to be a policeman breaks my heart, I wish I could take him and be a mother to him and love and protect him the way he should be 💔
I want to be a mother to them too
I was in Egypt in 2018 as a tourist but we were not allowed to leave the hotel alone and the guards said it is dangerous outside. so we were always in the places that only tourists were allowed to be there. we have not seen homeless children. I am from Sweden.
@Vaginà fanatic tourism tours have a clear programme and are organised to make the visit as cheap and safe it could be and they are for large groups
but of you want to travel by your own with your own guide then you are free to do whatever you want
I was there I love Egypt. I wish I could help them.
Why can’t you
I'm an American living in Egypt, there is this homeless elderly woman and her disabled daughter that is wheelchair bound that I help often, every time I see them I give them some money when I can and sometimes bring them food if I don't have enough money. Also here in the village that I live in with my husband we help as many homeless people we can. We always make big dinners and give the left overs to the man who works in the cemetery he is also homeless but very kind he always greets me every morning and is always happy to see me. And then their is this little girl that I grew very fond of name Malek she is 9 years old and has no family and lives in a makeshift tent and she makes money helping carrefour in Tanta by bringing in shopping carts left in the parking lot I gave her some cloths and money and when I shop I buy some extra food for her to have for later. I wish I could adopt her but adopting children in Egypt is so difficult and cost so much money.
There are lots of street children in the Philippines too BUT the difference is that the Filipinos are nice to their street children whereas the Egyptians are downright mean to their’s. When I worked and lived in Egypt if I were to give a street child a bottle of water, it wouldn’t be unusual for some angry adult to run up and knock the bottle of water out of my hand as I was handing it to the child, and then follow up by giving me a terse scolding for trying to help that child. One store owner even asked me if I was mentally ill when he saw me handing out hardboiled eggs to street children. Policemen used to beat street kids on a regular basis in Egypt too. Street children in the Philippines are rather outcast but the Filipinos don’t beat or ill treat them and they don’t discourage foreigners from giving them food or even money. The Egyptians basically treated all children they saw on the street, whether they were homeless or not, like shit unless it was their own child.
Thank you for showing me this❤️
Egypt is poverty stricken. Every where you go there is beggars. It's so sad. Really sad.
Egyptian people (most) are nice but there are a few that give the country a bad image.
Spidy Man 🇪🇬 😔😢😢
If there is homeless people there then it is the government that should be ashamed for not taking care of its people!
@@RareGem369 True
This is Global Problem not just your country we as human need to solve this even the so call first world have homeless. California is basically like this
The street kids generation are the future adults, meaning the kids of the street kids will completely change Egypt into chaos
Too much things are going wrong in this world , everywhere ,it s Sade ,really Sade .
Where are the parents?
Deas
Dead*
Some are dead, other kids run away from abusive or violent homes,
when i win the lottery i will donate 10 more places like the one w/ the little children/little boy who wants to become a policeman( to save other children)....give them all an education, food, clothes,etc i promise this!!
Do not donate to egypt the government will just steal it
@Kim Thompson i have worked for charities in london and they are nothing more then job creation for western countries!!! DO not DONATE to any charities specially those based in the west like i family, savethechildren etc whose directors get 100k a year!.....if you want to truly help people, donate to them directly...never through a government or charities
Gambling your money away that could have helped those children wont help.
This is shame to a big country like Egypt, where is their government 😢
100m are too much, 2.5m born every year
Interesting content but the editing is absent to say the least.
imagine that was when Egyptian economy was better now it is collapse 3 times more
The worst part and most Disturbing part of this Video I found is . When the part came out about Killing of these Street Children .This is So Wrong to do , The so called adults bring Children into this World . The Children never came into this World on their own Free Will . Do something about the these so called adult who keep bring these Children into the World . Then Abandon Their Young Children . My love and Prayers go to each and every Child . They already Need Love and Care . And a Place to call Home to feel Safe
On whitten road in Cordova Tennessee
If not for the Title and language everything is so similar to India.......like even the homeless children and stuff
Sadly this is a universal issue, even the US has this, happens especially when poverty is high..
@@Mai_TS--_--not true little kids are not in the streets like this
this is so much cute as an egyptian 5:55 he is so cute i wish he was my brother
I don't think they really have much of a chance. The reason is they follow a formula that has brought them to this situation and they're not going to divert from it. So I only see that it will get worse.
it is an old city
Oh wow
My husbandsssssss and my children
What u mean?
BRASIL
You have lost your brave leader Qazzafi,,, and now you are orphans,, Allah Kareem keep Egypt in his peace,,
Children need attention and education. we have the same problem here with refugees - the government doesn't help them and they live in awful conditions in camps, getting no real mentorship and wasting their days instead of gradually learning and improving their living conditions by becoming integrated cutizen
الجميع يأتون إلى ألمانيا .. حيث يتدفق الحليب والعسل .. ماما ميركل سعيدة!
Reminds me off Oliver Twist (1837-1839).
Those children look like they have aged 20 years. Really old looking in the face
godbless
I don’t like the look that lady’s giving the camera (6:11 on the left side), she looks like she’s smirking or something. Don’t trust her or these places for kids. Probably a lot of abuse. I guess better than the streets. Very sad. 🤷🏻♀️
I don't want the U.N. in Egypt that Haram také
1:35 but what if she does ask for money tho? u should help out these poor ppl who r giving u free content?
Cairo street children

Hologram program.....not...not...not
😞❤
perpetrating
2:02 her eyebrows say it all
Lmfao getting eyebrows done there is like 85 cents. So??
I hope that the stingy French network have some money to these poor kids, I hope it was more than a 100 $ but I seriously doubt it as usual
A universal problem.. "O Peerless Lord! Be Thou a shelter for this poor child and a kind and forgiving Master unto this erring and unhappy soul. O Lord! Though we are but worthless plants, yet we belong to Thy garden of roses." ~ Baha'i Faith
That is such a shame. Honestly, USA is not like that. Damn I am best to live in a privilgaed country
if you go by the one drop rule, Egyptians are most definitely black.
Zoroastrianistic Zoro what do you mean they don't even look black
They do look mixed to varying degrees with black.
Zoroastrianistic Zoro Most Egyptian people have black in them, my great grandmother was Moroccan/Egyptian and she looked mixed.
Most of them would be considered black ! I consider my self black and im egyptian. I have the Same skintone as the children. Im Sure not white or arab
the kids would still be considered Arab, this is a typical Arab look.
Typical of any big city really, what is so special here, not the fault of Islam I hope ;
Of course not .it is the fault of not applying the rules of Islam ..Islam ban killing and this street girl was a result of killing her mother Islam tell Muslims to give money and support to the needy and that is obligatory ...Islam prohibit any thing make you absent minded like wine and drugs ..If you talk any Muslim who don't have a balanced life you will realize that he is really far away from islam..judge islam from islam
Why don't you actually report about what's going on in france instead of continuing your death with bleeding heart foreigner stories?
By the way, the officer didn't say,, homosexuality,,
You French are homosexuality lovers😅😅
A country can clearly show its incompetent fallers by the amount of homelessness that are on their streets.
