Egypt’s Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation said 12.4 million cubic metres of floodwater had been captured in Sinai and the Red Sea governorate following a wave of rain and flash floods.

The ministry is continuing to monitor conditions in South Sinai, North Sinai and the Red Sea governorate, which were affected by the weather.

The reported volume covers water captured across Sinai and the Red Sea area. The ministry’s update did not provide a breakdown by governorate.
