The Ministry noted that youth centers witnessed a massive turnout during the first day of the holiday, with approximately 13 million citizens visiting these centers. In addition to those attending the Eid prayer, around three million participated in the 'Eid is Ahla' (Eid is More Joyful) initiative, organized by the Ministry's Central Administration for Youth Centers in cooperation with regional directorates. Dr. Ashraf Sobhi, Minister of Youth and Sports, highlighted that the overwhelming public presence underscores citizens' trust in the vital societal role played by youth centers. He affirmed the Ministry's ongoing efforts to enhance the infrastructure and services of these centers to meet the needs of all age groups. 'Youth centers have become an integral part of Egyptian life. They are no longer limited to sports activities—they now serve as inclusive spaces for worship, entertainment, and cultural and social engagement,' Minister Sobhi said. He added, 'We are committed to transforming youth centers into creative, community-driven hubs that offer diverse services in cooperation with other ministries and institutions. This contributes to fostering a sense of national belonging and aligns with the state's strategy for citizen development.'

Morocco to spend $670mln to replenish livestock up to 2026
RABAT - Morocco plans to spend 6.2 billion dirhams ($670 mln) on a 2025-2026 programme to replenish its livestock herd, which has been reduced following years of prolonged drought, agriculture minister Ahmed El Bouari said on Thursday. Six years of drought caused mass job losses in the farming sector and reduced the cattle and sheep herds by 38% this year, compared to the last census nine years ago. Under the recovery programme, 3 billion dirhams will be allocated in 2025 and 3.2 billion next year to measures including debt relief and restructuring for livestock farmers, as well as feed subsidies, Bouari told reporters. The government also includes aid to farmers who retain breeding female livestock, along with veterinary campaigns, genetic improvement and artificial insemination, he said. In February, authorities asked citizens to forgo the ritual of slaughtering sheep on the Eid Adha this year, to help restore the sheep herd.
