Rising sea levels threaten Egyptian coasts
Egypt announces state of emergency following a major flood in the coastal governorate of Kafr El Sheikh as a result of turbulent weather.
CAIRO — Egyptian Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation Mohammad Abdel Ati announced a state of emergency Dec. 7 after a storm surge flooded the coastline in the governorate of Kafr El Sheikh.
The incident alarmed the state, which worried that climate change is contributing to rising sea levels and eroding Egypt's coasts.
