Egypt rolls out broader personal accident insurance policy for citizens abroad
Arab Finance: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Immigration, in cooperation with the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA), has developed a more comprehensive personal accident insurance policy for Egyptians abroad and their families, according to a statement. This falls within President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's directives to provide comprehensive care to Egyptians abroad. The compensation value in cases of death or total disability has been increased to EGP 250,000 from EGP 100,000, effective this July. On his part, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Immigration Badr Abdelatty stated that this move reflects the state's commitment to protecting Egyptians abroad as well as their families. The decision also provides a secure insurance umbrella that strengthens their connection to their homeland, Abdelatty added. He noted that the ministry will coordinate with the FRA to develop further mechanisms to protect the Egyptians' rights. Mohamed Farid, Chairman of the FRA, said the policy represents a successful model of institutional cooperation, emphasizing the expansion of coverage to include all Egyptians working abroad and their families, not just those with work permits. Hence, it promotes insurance fairness and financial inclusion. Egyptians abroad and their families can subscribe through the Egyptian Pool for Travel Insurance's website, app, or WhatsApp. Coverage includes natural or accidental death, as well as total disability. It also covers the cost of transporting the body or its equivalent in the event of burial abroad, up to a maximum of EGP 250,000. The insured must be at least 18 years old and no older than 70 at the time of the accident. © 2020-2023 Arab Finance For Information Technology. All Rights Reserved. Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.

'Inclusion is a right:' Lebanon's first lady welcomes first employee with disability at presidential palace
Lebanon's First Lady, Nehmat Aoun, announced that, for the first time, a person with a disability has joined the presidential palace team, marking a milestone in promoting inclusion at the highest levels of government. "Welcome, Ali," she said in a social media post. She emphasized that this step is not just a hiring decision but the start of fully implementing Law 220/2000 and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, both ratified by President Joseph Aoun on April 10, 2025. These legal frameworks guarantee equal rights and opportunities for people with disabilities in all areas. "Ali's presence at the palace serves as a daily reminder that inclusion is not a choice but a fundamental right for every individual," she further noted. للمرة الأولى في القصر الجمهوري، ينضم إلينا شخص من ذوي الإعاقة إلى فريق العمل. أهلاً وسهلاً بك يا علي. — First Lady Nehmat Aoun - نعمت عون (@lbfirstlady) July 6, 2025

Islamist group claims responsibility for Syria fire
Published July 7th, 2025 - 06:25 GMT ALBAWABA - Members of the Islamist group "Saraya Ansar al-Sunna" claimed responsibility for the massive fires that have swept through Syria's coastal mountains for the past four days. In a statement posted on their Telegram account, the group said, "The fighters of Saraya Ansar al-Sunna set fire to the Qastal Mountains in the Latakia countryside on the 3rd of Muharram." The statement added that "the fires spread to other areas, forcing residents of some villages in the Latakia countryside to flee their homes, and a number of them suffered from suffocation." وزير الطوارئ والكوارث في سوريا "رائد الصالح عند الطوارئ و الكوارث يصبح عنصر من عناصر الدفاع المدني السوري ويشارك في أطفاء الحرائق هكذا نريد ان يكونوا جميعاً مع الشعب — عمر مدنيه (@Omar_Madaniah) July 6, 2025 It's worth noting that Ansar al-Sunna mercenaries previously claimed responsibility for the bombing of the Saint Elias Church in al-Duwaileh, Damascus. For days, the northern Latakia countryside has been witnessing uncontrollable fires that have swept through vast areas of forests, with firefighters and residents struggling to control them. The fires, which have been raging since July 3, have cut off the international highway between Latakia and Turkey, and have put power plants out of service due to the intensity of the fires and the dense smoke. Jordan's Armed Forces sent two Black Hawk helicopters from the Royal Jordanian Air Force, equipped with specialized crews and advanced technical equipment, to help control the fires and limit their spread, protecting lives and property. Turkey also sent firefighters to help Syria extinguish the fire that erupted in the coastal area. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

Cars flying in the air: New video documents Israeli airstrike in Iran
Published July 3rd, 2025 - 11:32 GMT ALBAWABA - Iranian television channels released new footage on Thursday, claiming it documents an Israeli bombing of Tehran during the war. The video shows the moment of the attack, which caused dozens of cars to fly into the air, causing a huge explosion that shook the entire area. Israel and Iran war began when Tel Aviv carried out airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear facilities and attacked Iranian military commanders and scientists, killing dozens on June 13. The Iranian-Israeli conflict continued for 12 days before US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire agreement on June 24, declaring an end to the war. "THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT. PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!" Trump said via Truth Social. It is worth noting that the ceasefire deal was agreed on the 12th day of the war between Tehran and Tel Aviv. توثيق لقصف اسرائيلي على طهران خلال الحرب ويظهر في الفيديو تطاير عشرات السيارات في الهواء وانفجار كبير هز المنطقة بأكملها. — جريدة القدس (@alqudsnewspaper) July 3, 2025 © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (
