Egypt’s Awqaf Ministry Urges Fact-Checking and Action Against Rumours

Egypt’s Ministry of Awqaf has marked Global Media and Information Literacy Week with a call to verify information and counter rumours.

The annual observance, endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly, runs from October 24 to 31.

The ministry’s message focused on checking the accuracy of information rather than accepting or circulating claims without verification.

Its appeal links the international observance to the challenge of misinformation, highlighting the importance of responsible engagement with news and information.
