Their lot gets worse

摘要

Supper for Ahmet Cimli, his wife and three children is a watery soup made from discarded bones donated by a friendly local butcher; breakfast is a few tomatoes and some stale bread sold at a nearby factory at half the price of fresh loaves. Since Mr Cimli lost his job wiping cars' windscreens at a petrol pump, his family has had to forgo lunch. Such is a typical diet for poor people in the Yenidogan slum district of Ankara, Turkey's capital.
