Cairo authorities have announced strict penalties for anyone found slaughtering animals in public streets during Eid Al-Adha, with fines reaching up to EGP 10,000 and potential jail time. Governor Ibrahim Saber confirmed that environmental violation reports will be issued against those who leave behind waste or blood in public spaces.
To maintain hygiene and public health, slaughtering outside official abattoirs is strictly prohibited. The city's government-run slaughterhouses—El-Aly, Girco, Salam, Momtaz, Tora, Helwan, and 15 May—will operate around the clock throughout Eid, offering their services free of charge. Facilities include pre- and post-slaughter veterinary inspections, holding pens, and vehicle waiting areas.

Veterinary Director Sabry Zeinhem reiterated that unauthorised commercial slaughtering can result in severe penalties, particularly for repeat offences. Individuals who carry out sacrifices in the streets or outside their homes may also face legal consequences under public sanitation and environmental protection laws.
Citizens are urged to report violations via the following hotlines: 27426993, 27427053, or 19561.

Famine Deepens in Gaza as Crossings Remain Closed, Aid Blocked
Ahmed Emam The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is escalating at an alarming rate amid the ongoing closure of border crossings and the continued blockade of humanitarian aid by Israeli forces. The situation has led to severe shortages of food, clean water, and essential medicines, raising international concerns over an impending, unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. The crossings into Gaza have been closed since March 2, halting the flow of fuel necessary to operate hospitals and blocking the entry of vital medical supplies. This has resulted in the near-total collapse of the healthcare system, with many hospitals unable to provide basic services. Reports indicate that dozens of patients, particularly children and the elderly, have died due to the lack of medical care. Both local and international organizations have documented the deaths of children from acute malnutrition, as tens of thousands of families struggle to find enough food to survive each day. The Israeli blockade and use of starvation as a method of warfare have been condemned by rights groups, which argue that it compounds the devastation caused by ongoing military operations. More than two million Palestinians now face the threat of slow death under what observers describe as a policy of collective punishment, as the international community is accused of failing to act decisively in the face of growing human suffering in Gaza. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies

Egypt Allocates EGP 406 Billion to Health Sector in 2025 Budget
This allocation marks a tenfold rise in health spending since 2013, reflecting long-term infrastructure and coverage efforts. May 28, 2025 Egypt's health budget has grown from EGP 34 billion in 2013 to EGP 406 billion in 2025, according to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Health and Population Khaled Abdel Ghaffar. Speaking at the US–Egypt Policy Leaders Forum 2025, Abdel Ghaffar said the increase supports healthcare infrastructure expansion and aims to attract private sector investment into Egypt's medical and public health landscape. Between 2014 and 2024, the Ministry of Health completed 1,245 infrastructure projects, with an additional 20 expected to be finalised in 2025. Egypt currently has around 2,000 hospitals, 5,400 primary healthcare units, and over 142,000 hospital beds—including 16,300 intensive care beds. Upcoming expansions are set to add 2,650 more beds and include the development of specialised medical cities in 11 governorates. The Universal Health Insurance System is also in progress, currently being implemented in six governorates and covering an estimated 6 million residents. Officials say these developments are part of broader national efforts to improve access to healthcare and expand coverage across the country.
