Earthquake strikes Egypt, concerns rise
An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.5 on the Richter scale struck eastern Egypt in the early hours of today, causing panic among residents in Cairo and several governorates. The quake occurred at 3:00 a.m. approximately 40 kilometers north of Suez and lasted for more than 15 seconds. People across a wide area, from Cairo to Rafah, felt the shaking, with a noticeable tremor in buildings. No casualties or material damage have been reported so far, and Egyptian authorities have activated the emergency plan, with rescue teams on alert. The tremor resonated in Palestine, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, marking one of the notable seismic events in Egyptian history, recalling the 1992 earthquake that resulted in over 540 deaths.
