Egypt Captures 12.4 Million Cubic Metres of Floodwater in Sinai and Red Sea Areas

Egypt’s Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation says 12.4 million cubic metres of flash-flood water have been captured in Sinai and the Red Sea areas following a wave of rainfall.

The ministry is continuing to monitor the rain and flash floods that have affected South Sinai, North Sinai and Red Sea governorates.

Monitoring is being carried out through the ministry’s Flood Forecasting Centre, alongside teams working in the field.

The reported volume covers water captured across the affected areas. The brief update did not provide a breakdown by governorate.
