Earthquake measuring magnitude 3.33 strikes northwest of Hurghada, no casualties
The National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG) announced that the institute's National Seismic Monitoring Network stations reported an earthquake measuring 3.33 on the Richter scale on Sunday, 44 kilometers northwest of Hurghada. The NRIAG added in a statement on Sunday that the earthquake occurred at 3:08:30 pm, at a latitude of 27.55 north and longitude 33.51 east, at a depth of 10.16 kilometers. The institute indicated that it had not received any reports of the earthquake being felt or any loss of life or property. Much of the recent earthquakes felt in Egypt have originated from the Hellenic Arc region of Crete, professor of Geology at Benha University Zakaria Hamimi explained back in late May. This region is an active seismic belt, and earthquakes occur at great depth, he said, which mitigates their effects. The professor noted that 'The devastating 1992 (Cairo) earthquake had its epicenter in Dahshur, which is why its impact was so significant.' Hamimi emphasized that Egypt is completely isolated from seismic belts, assuring, 'Egypt is immune to dangerous earthquakes.'
