The head of the National Institute for Astronomical and Geophysical Research, Dr. Basem Nabawi, affirmed that the earthquake in the east of the Gulf of Suez, which registered 5.5 on the Richter scale, requires an in-depth study, especially since this earthquake had not been recorded in the area before for the past 43 years. He explained that the causes of the earthquake are linked to the seismic belt in the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba, and that the region is relatively seismically active. He also confirmed that the institute is under significant pressure following the earthquake and needs support through new hiring of researchers, overcoming staff fatigue, and improving human competencies instead of relying on short-term contracts. Additionally, he pointed out that the state has become more committed to building quality, with strict laws implemented related to construction as part of efforts to address the effects of earthquakes. He emphasized the importance of cleaning up informal settlements to reduce potential damage to buildings in the event of natural disasters.
