The head of the National Institute of Astronomical Research confirmed that the earthquake that occurred in the eastern Gulf of Suez region with a magnitude of 5.5 Richter is a rare event, as such an event has not been recorded in the area for 43 years. He attributed its causes to a weak seismic zone in the region. He explained that the government has taken measures to study the earthquake's implications, including forming a field committee to inspect the area and verify the presence of any land deformation or subsidence. These efforts also benefit from improved building standards established after the 1992 earthquake and aim to reduce the risks posed by informal settlements, which are more vulnerable to earthquake damage.
