Labourers work at the ''White Mountain'' limestone extraction quarry site near Minya, Egypt, on December 14, 2024. Covered in fine white dust, labourers at a limestone quarry in southern Egypt toil in brutal conditions with little workplace safety for paltry pay. Labourers work in shifts at the quarry in the so-called White Mountain east of the river Nile outside Minya, about 265 km south of the capital Cairo.
