Egypt recorded two deaths and two injuries on Thursday as severe weather swept across the country, with the Health Ministry reporting the situation remains stable nationwide and emergency teams on full alert.
According to a statement from the Health Ministry, Health Minister Khaled Abdel Ghaffar was briefed by the Egyptian Ambulance Authority on the health impact of the storm as Egypt entered its first day of unstable conditions.
The ministry credited the low casualty numbers to the public&rsquo;s responsible response to prior warnings, saying citizen awareness was key in preventing a surge in weather-related incidents.
Spokesman Hossam Abdel Ghaffar commended ambulance and emergency teams for staying on continuous alert throughout the day and responding promptly to every reported case. The ministry pledged to maintain close coordination with relevant agencies and keep all medical teams at peak readiness for the remainder of the weather event.

Residents were urged to dress warmly in waterproof, layered clothing and to limit time outdoors during peak wind and rain. Wet clothes should be changed immediately, and windows and doors kept tightly closed. Those venturing outside were advised to wear a mask and wash their face and eyes thoroughly upon returning home.
Vulnerable groups, including children, the elderly, and people with respiratory or heart conditions, were advised to follow prescribed medication, avoid physical exertion, and drink warm fluids regularly. The public was also warned to avoid flooded areas, lamp posts, trees, and metal structures during strong winds.
For emergencies, the Health Ministry&rsquo;s crisis hotline can be reached on 137 and the Ambulance Authority on 123.
