Tradition of waking up neighbors during holy month

In Egypt, the Muslim holy month of Ramadan is coming to a close. One of the age-old traditions during Ramadan involves a person waking their neighbors up before dawn for their last meal before fasting for the day. Normally this job is assigned to a man but in Cairo there is one woman seemingly breaking tradition. CCTV’s Yasser Hakim filed this report.
