The article details the earthquake felt by the residents of Egypt early Monday morning, registering a magnitude of 5.5 on the Richter scale. It occurred near Suez at a depth of 8 kilometers. The Head of the Seismology Department at the National Institute for Astronomical Research confirmed that the timing of the earthquake and its aftershocks took over 15 hours to be fully recorded, during which approximately 10 to 12 aftershocks occurred that residents did not feel. He explained that the delay in issuing the official statement, which added about 5 extra minutes, was due to high pressure on the platform and the institute facing external pressures resulting from the large number of people trying to access it. Additionally, the institute was working to develop mechanisms to improve its responsiveness during emergency events. He also noted that Egypt has not experienced an earthquake of this magnitude since 1992 and that exceptional circumstances necessitated the organization of parallel workflows to ensure rapid and accurate data announcement.
