Dr. Bassem Nabawi, head of the National Institute of Astronomical Research, confirmed that the earthquake that occurred east of the Gulf of Suez with a magnitude of 5.5 on the Richter scale was caused by weak seismic activity in the Gulf of Suez region, making it one of the weakest in 43 years. He explained that the earthquake was attributed to the city of Suez because it was the closest location, and that a comprehensive study is needed to assess its impact on the area. A field committee has been formed to inspect the region and investigate any distortions or subsidence. He noted that modern buildings in the New Republic are of high quality, which reduces damage, whereas informal settlements built non-organically were the most vulnerable to damage in previous earthquakes. He also emphasized that the government is working to remove these informal areas to reduce future risks.
