This is very sad. That work could easily be automated so people would not have to suffer those harsh conditions.
Those poor donkeys were also being forced into labor. They should be allowed to roam free in the field and graze at their leisure.
Unfortunately this happens all over the world. The Uyghurs in China are forced into labor and in the United States undocumented immigrants are forced to harvest food crops and treated unfairly for fear that they will be deported as undocumented immigrants.

As a contrast. here's a promotional video that shows how bricks are made in the developed world. This video shows a factory in Australia where nearly all of the processes are automated with robotics.
I hear a lot of people complain about free market capitalism but that is what has brought us all this automation and eliminated the need for those horrible, inhumane jobs.
Pakistan with its long history of theocratic governance and entrenched corruption has nothing even closely resembling free market capitalism.
