Nashaat Al-Dahi on Suez Earthquake Resilience
Media figure Nesh'at Al-Dahi discussed the earthquake that struck Egypt early Monday morning, emphasizing that it served as a test of the resilience of the social fabric and infrastructure. He pointed out that the earthquake, which was similar in strength to the 1992 quake, passed safely thanks to significant improvements in building codes, construction, and infrastructure that have been implemented since then. He explained that Egypt has experienced powerful earthquakes throughout its history, notably the 1847 Faiyum earthquake with a magnitude of 6.9, the 1992 earthquake—which, despite not being the strongest, was the most destructive in terms of losses—and the 1995 Gulf of Aqaba earthquake, which exceeded 7 in magnitude. He affirmed that the current economic situation and preparedness have contributed to minimizing the damage from the recent quake, as there were no reports of injuries or human losses.
