Irrigation Minister Orders Safe Crossing for El-Nadiba Village Within 48 Hours

Egypt’s Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation has moved urgently to secure a safe crossing for children in El-Nadiba village, in Damanhour district of Beheira governorate.

The action followed the circulation of a photograph showing children crossing the Gabbars West drainage canal, drawing attention to the need for a safe route.

The irrigation minister ordered a temporary crossing to be put in place within 48 hours, pending the construction of a new bridge.

The interim measure is intended to protect children crossing the canal while a permanent crossing is developed. The information provided did not specify a completion date for the new bridge.
