Millions of slum-dwellers across Egypt have long suffered from a lack of basic needs, including running water, electricity and education.

Al Jazeera's Jamal Elshayyal reports from Tabyit Hoda, an Egyptian slum district, where locals voiced doubts that the country's upcoming elections would usher change.
