| 释义 |
The 2008 Cairo landslide happened on September 6, 2008 at el-Deweika, an informal settlement in the Manshiyat Naser neighborhood of east Cairo, Egypt; 119 people died in the rockslide. Some people blamed for the landslide were arrested and held accountable.[1] Boulders weighing as much as 70 tons rolled into the shanty town following the landslide.[2] After most of the neighborhood had been flattened, those families still living in the slum were evicted and any remaining buildings were flattened by the government.[2] As a result, hundreds of families were left homeless and many still live in squalor near the site of the disaster, despite government promises to find them homes.[3] The cause of the landslide has not been definitively determined, but theories included leaked sewage from development projects that eroded rocks.[4][5] An internal investigation determined that the slide was caused by "fate" and no one would be blamed for it.[6] Amnesty International reports that thousands of Egyptians still continue to live in unsafe slums.[3]According to Amnesty International, authorities failed to evacuate the impoverished residents and provide them with temporary or alternative housing. People living in areas deemed unsafe in Al-Duwayqa and Ezbet Bekhit were forced out in a manner which breached the international standards that states must observe while carrying out evictions.[7] In May 2010, a court found Mahmoud Yassin, a Cairo deputy governor, guilty of negligence and sentenced him for five years of imprisonment. Seven other officials were sentenced to three years each.[1] References1. ^1 Egypt jails government officials over Cairo rockslide BBC {{coord|30.0457|31.2882|type:event_region:EG|display=title}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Cairo Landslide, 2008}}{{disaster-stub}}{{egypt-hist-stub}}2. ^1 Following the rockfall, Egyptian slum dwellers have little more than hope Christian Science Monitor, March 20, 2009. 3. ^1 [https://www.amnesty.org/en/news-and-updates/report/cairo039s-poorest-risk-being-buried-alive-their-homes-20091117 Cairo's poorest risk being buried alive in their homes] Amnesty International 4. ^Emaar accused of culpability in Duweiqa rockslide {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080927094002/http://dailystaregypt.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=16577 |date=September 27, 2008 }} Daily News, Egypt. 5. ^Compounding the Loss {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090807054719/http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2008/920/eg2.htm |date=2009-08-07 }} Al-Ahram, Egypt. 6. ^Egypt’s Deadly Infrastructure Problems 7. ^{{Cite web|url=http://reliefweb.int/report/egypt/egypt-buried-alive-trapped-poverty-and-neglect-cairos-informal-settlements|title=Egypt: Buried alive; trapped by poverty and neglect in Cairo's informal settlements|date=2009-11-12|website=ReliefWeb|language=English|access-date=2016-04-29}} 3 : Landslides in 2008|Landslides in Egypt|2008 in Egypt |
