Pakistan's brick workers need kilns reignited after floods

Floods destroyed or damaged nearly two million homes or business premises in Pakistan. Many labourers who live on-site in Aqilpur, Punjab province, have been forced to leave their homes. Muhammad Ayub, 40, is out of work and homeless. There are thousands of small brick factories and kilns scattered across Pakistan, a vital supplier of building materials for the nation of 220 million. The brickworks are notorious for hiring child labour. It is illegal under Pakistan law. For now, mounds of bricks that should be making their way to building sites lie partially submerged in floodwater.
