Egypt's organ broker economy and its human toll
A Cairo exposé centers on Mustafa Hamed, a 24 year old ex bus driver turned organ broker earning $900 from four liver sales. It details transplant tourism, widespread poverty, and the risks to donors like Ayman Abdullah and his brother, who faced debt and exile after a failed mobile shop venture.
