Egyptian Red Crescent Provides Prayer Tents for Gaza During Ramadan
Feb 25, 2025
The Egyptian Red Crescent Society has launched the 'Support Gaza, Praying Tarawih' campaign, an initiative providing prayer tents inside Gaza to replace mosques that had been destroyed by Israeli forces. With Ramadan approaching, the campaign aims to ensure that people in the region have spaces to gather for prayers, particularly the special Tarawih prayers performed during the holy month.
Described as the first initiative of its kind, the campaign frames the donation of prayer tents as a way to direct zakat and charity. Contributions can be made through multiple channels, including online platforms, phone services, text messages, and banking options.
Online donations are available through the Egyptian Red Crescent Society's website, while phone representatives can be reached at 15322 (extension 3) for those who wish to donate by providing their details.
Mobile users can contribute by sending "Palestine" to 9770 for a fee of EGP 5. Other electronic options include Fawry, using code 99981, and Vodafone Cash, by dialing #1669Gaza, along with Orange Cash via #7115#.
Bank donations can be made through several financial institutions. Cairo Bank has designated account number 30/501/8384 (IBAN: EG440004103000000305010008384) for Palestine donations. CIB Bank is accepting contributions under account 100035211157, with a marketing code of 911111.
Additional accounts have been established at the Arab African International Bank (1023339210010201), SAIB Bank's Maadi branch (2820302932110010), and Bank of Egypt (911111).

Gaza civil defence says Israeli strikes kill 15 - War on Gaza
Gaza's civil defence agency said Israeli strikes killed 15 people in the Palestinian territory on Tuesday, as the military expanded ground operations to the central city of Deir el-Balah. Agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP that Israeli strikes on the Al-Shati camp west of Gaza City killed at least 13 people and wounded more than 50. Most of Gaza's population has been displaced at least once during the 21 months of conflict, and the Al-Shati camp, on the Mediterranean coast, hosts thousands of people displaced from the north in tents and makeshift shelters. Raed Bakr, 30, lives with his three children and said he heard "a massive explosion" at about 1:40 am on Tuesday (2240 GMT Monday), which blew their tent away. "I felt like I was in a nightmare. Fire, dust, smoke and body parts flying through the air, dirt everywhere. The children were screaming," Bakr, whose wife was killed last year, told AFP. With private cars off the road due to fuel shortages, neighbours carried some of the wounded on foot. "There were no vehicles or even donkey carts," he said. Muhannad Thabet, 33, who also lives at the Al-Shati camp, called it "a night of terror" due to "non-stop air strikes and explosions". He said he carried a six-year-old child to get treatment and said the nearby Shifa hospital -- once one of Gaza's largest -- was overwhelmed with wounded people. The civil defence agency's Bassal said two more people were killed in Deir el-Balah, where the Israeli army said it would expand its ground operations, having ordered the evacuation of much of the area. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) estimated that between 50,000 and 80,000 people were living in the area, which until now had been considered relatively safe. Some 30,000 were living in displacement sites. AFP footage from central Gaza showed a large plume of smoke rising over Deir el-Balah on Tuesday while a surveillance drone was heard buzzing overhead. OCHA said nearly 88 per cent of the entire Gaza Strip was now either under evacuation orders or within Israeli militarised zones, forcing the population of 2.4 million into an ever-shrinking space.

Coffee Corner: Circle
Rana Atef Circle. A fantastic but enigmatic word. It is more than the round-and-round shape you see in front of your eyes. It is a symbol for a lot of good as well as a lot of bad. Inspiration of the Spirit grounded the symbolism of the circle in ancient and Native American cultures. Circle is the sun. Circle is the moon. Circle is the seasons. Circle is four directions. Circle is healing. Circle is life. Is it truly a circle? Or just a cycle? Kicks off with with a rebirth in the afterlife. Black Elk said, "Everything. The power of the world does done in circles." "The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood. and it is in everything where power moves." Even in psychology, we see circles in many aspects of our lives like wheels and rings. Motion. It can refer to (Community - Unity- Growth- Inclusivity - Wholeness- Connection- Infinity). Even in religions, prayers could be done in circles. A Full circle as Loreena Mckennitt described the Sufi prayers in the mosque, after the dawn, in Ramadan, in Morocco. Now, there is a circulating question in the head? Life is a Circle? Do we live in Circle? ARE WE TRAPPED IN A CIRCLE? These thoughts could be somehow dark. But, it depends on you. You may feel that you are trapped inside your life. You may trap yourself under hundreds of nevers. Circle is a shape. It is a line. You can break it. Now, look around! Look AROUND... LooK How many circles DO YOU SEE? Focus... Circles are not bad.. But YOURS IS.. If you are trapping yourself. Turn the OO.. the circles of OOOOO to open vision. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Coffee Corner is an open space. A window. A soft place. It's for you. Those whose minds won't quiet down, whose thoughts are loud, growing louder. These pieces are not answers, they are mirrors. They are breath. They are the still voice in the room when the world won't stop spinning. I write these words not from a pedestal, but from the same place you are. Awake, wondering, remembering. If you're here, then these thoughts are for you. read more 15 Ludicrous Cosplay Costumes That Will Blow You Away Watch...

Civil Protection Denies Fire at Ceramica Cleopatra Mall in October City
Taarek Refaat Civil Protection authorities in Giza have denied reports circulating on social media about a fire breaking out at Ceramica Cleopatra Mall in the 6th of October City. In an official statement, the October Fire Department confirmed that the incident did not occur inside the mall, but involved a minor fire in waste materials adjacent to the Cleopatra Ceramica Mall, near Hyper One on the Central Axis Road. 'Fire crews were dispatched immediately following a report of smoke in the area,' the department said. 'Upon inspection, it was determined that the flames had engulfed a pile of discarded materials near the mall's perimeter—not inside the commercial facility itself.' The fire was swiftly brought under control, and no injuries or property damage were reported, according to the fire department. Images published by Sada El-Balad early Sunday morning show Ceramica Mall completely intact, countering misleading reports spread on various websites and social media platforms overnight.
