TV presenter Lamies El-Hadidi confirmed that the earthquake early this morning, which measured 5.6 on the Richter scale, was strong but did not result in significant human losses compared to the 1992 earthquake, which had a magnitude of 5.8 and caused hundreds of deaths, thousands of injuries, and the destruction of many buildings. She pointed out that developments in Egyptian infrastructure, especially the construction of buildings according to earthquake-resistant codes and the modernization of the infrastructure network, have played a major role in reducing the impact of the current earthquake. She emphasized that Egypt has become better equipped to face natural disasters thanks to investments in reform and development, and noted that the period between the two earthquakes clearly demonstrates the significant changes in the country regarding building strength and construction systems.
