Elderly Care Law Enforces Penalties
The Senior Citizens' Rights Protection Law No. 19 of 2024 stipulates strict penalties for neglecting the care of the elderly or endangering their lives. The penalties include imprisonment for up to one year, fines ranging from one thousand to ten thousand Egyptian pounds, or a combination of both. This applies to anyone who abandons their duties toward the elderly or exploits their financial situation. If such neglect or exploitation results in injury, harm, or a disability, the penalty increases to imprisonment for a period between three to five years. In cases of death or permanent disability, a longer imprisonment term is imposed. This emphasizes the importance of protecting the rights of senior citizens and ensuring caregivers fulfill their responsibilities.
