Adib: Street dogs rise from 300K to 12M
Media personality Amr Adeeb explained that the number of street dogs in Egypt has increased from around 300,000 in 2016 to 1.5 million. Estimates suggest there are between 12 and 40 million dogs, leading to a rise in bite cases, which amount to about 1.5 million annually and pose a threat to children and the elderly. This problem contributes to the Ministry of Health spending approximately 1.7 billion Egyptian pounds each year on antiserum costs, with projections indicating this could rise to 6 billion by 2030, putting a heavy strain on the national budget. Public opinion within Egyptian society is increasingly divided on how to address the issue—some advocate for compassion and the elimination of dogs, while others call for reducing their numbers or exporting them.
