Egypt Avoids Casualties in Earthquake
Egypt experienced an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.5 on the Richter scale, which struck in the early hours of August 3, 2026. Its epicenter was north of Suez City, at a depth of 10 kilometers. The tremor was felt by residents of Cairo, Giza, and the Delta and Canal Governorates. No deaths or injuries were reported, despite some images circulating showing cracks in old buildings, which are the result of unsafe structures. Engineering experts confirmed that Egypt has not yet entered a seismic zone, and that updating building regulations and early warning capabilities have helped reduce damages. The authorities also advised against using elevators and recommended caution and safety procedures during and immediately after the tremor.
