Parents obliged to vaccinate children, immunize them against infectious diseases: Egypt's Child Law
CAIRO - 3 June 2025: The Child Law is keen to establish all the rights and obligations of parents to protect children. In this context, it obligates parents to vaccinate their children with vaccines administered at health offices and health units free of charge.
Article 25 of the Child Law stipulates the necessity of vaccinating your child and immunizing them against infectious diseases. The fine ranges from 20 to 200 Egyptian pounds, without prejudice to the Penal Code.
The responsibility for providing the child with vaccinations or immunization falls on the parent or the person in whose custody the child is.
In the same context, Article 7 of the Child Law stipulates the importance and benefits of breastfeeding. It also stipulates the importance of access to health and social care services and disease treatment. The state has taken all measures to ensure that all children enjoy the highest possible standard of health.
The State has ensured the importance of providing parents, children, and all sectors of society with basic information related to child health and nutrition. It has also guaranteed the child, in all areas, his right to a healthy, clean, and suitable environment, and to take all effective measures to eliminate practices that are harmful to his health, while taking into account the duties and rights of the child's guardian, and his right to discipline permitted by Sharia, while prohibiting the intentional exposure of the child to any harmful physical harm or harmful or unlawful practice.

Sisi Reaffirms Egypt's Firm Rejection of Palestinian Displacement, Calls for Peaceful Resolution
Nada Mustafa President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi has reaffirmed Egypt's clear and unwavering stance in rejecting the displacement of the Palestinian people, warning that such a move would undermine the concept of a two-state solution and peaceful resolution to the conflict. Speaking in a televised address on the situation in Gaza, President Sisi stressed the importance of reiterating Egypt's position on the war in the Gaza Strip. 'I am saying this now, in particular, because there is a lot being said. It's important that people are reminded of Egypt's consistent and constructive positions calling for an end to the war, the realization of the two-state solution, and a peaceful settlement to the Palestinian cause,' he stated. Addressing the Egyptian people and audiences across the Arab region and the world, President Sisi said, "Since October 7, we have been actively engaged with our partners in Qatar and United States to achieve three objectives: stopping the war, allowing humanitarian aid to enter Gaza, and securing the release of hostages.' Moreover, Sisi's remarks reaffirm Egypt's diplomatic efforts and its long-standing support for a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language

Expert warns GERD's damage to Egypt's water share is at 90 billion cubic meters
Professor of Geology and Water Resources at Cairo University Abbas Sharaky warned that the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) has clearly harmed Egypt's share of Nile River water over the past five years, during which Ethiopia filled the reservoir of the dam. Sharaky explained in a post on his Facebook page: 'The damage is clear, with approximately 90 billion cubic meters being held back over five years, including 60 billion cubic meters stored in the lake, in addition to the loss of approximately 20-30 billion cubic meters due to evaporation and seepage into the ground.' He noted that Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty has reiterated Egypt's right to legitimately defend itself and its water interests if any harm occurs. 'What is meant here is that in the event of serious harm to citizens, the government cannot prevent it from reaching them, and this does not mean, as some understand, that Egypt has not been harmed by the GERD so far,' he explained. The state has been able to provide sufficient quantities of water thanks to the High Dam and some measures and projects that cost the general budget more than LE 500 billion during the years of filling the GERD, the expert said. Sharaky pointed out that these projects include agricultural wastewater treatment plants, limiting the area for rice cultivation, developing field irrigation, lining canals, replacing agricultural varieties with water-saving ones, and a 100,000-acre greenhouse project, among others. He added that Egypt has always emphasized that it is not against development in any country, especially the Nile headwaters, provided it does not harm others. Sharaky explained that there is clear cooperation with Sudan, South Sudan, Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Tanzania on various projects, most notably the construction of the Julius Nyerere Dam in Tanzania. Hope for an agreement The expert explained that the door is still open to reach a binding legal agreement that sets rules for the recurrent filling and operation of the GERD – especially after the completion of the initial five-year filling, which was a major point of contention in previous negotiations over the filling period, and it is preferable for this agreement to be reached before the official opening. In response to Ethiopia's statements regarding the opening of the GERD in September and Egypt's invitation to attend the ceremony, Sharaky said that Egypt can only attend the opening if an agreement is reached. 'Anything other than that, the invitation to attend constitutes a disdain and provocation to Egypt and Sudan, and the Foreign Minister described it as absurd. Egypt also strongly rejects any future Ethiopian announcement to construct additional dams on the Nile River through unilateral decisions.'
