Egyptian Nadia Awad Hossemin walks out of the place where she lives in the impoverished Old Cairo district of the Egyptian capital in this September 12, 2007, file photo. Hundreds of thousands of Egyptians who flooded into Cairo during an economic boom in the 1970s had no money to rent an apartment, and instead set up houses on the city's rooftops. For some of their children, life on the rooftop is a reminder of the failure of Egypt's current economic boom to improve living standards for the poor.
