Workers manually handle and stack large timber logs at a charcoal kiln operation site in Bilbeis, Sharqia Governorate, Egypt. The logs are piled high in preparation for the charcoal burning process, a labor-intensive traditional industry that provides livelihoods for local families. Charcoal production (فحم) in this region involves stacking wood into kilns (مكامير), burning it under controlled conditions, and collecting the resulting charcoal for sale.
