The European Commission has provided 80,000 euros in humanitarian funding to assist families in Egypt most impacted by flooding in Aswan on November. These funds will help the Red Crescent in Egypt deliver critical aid such as money, blankets and mattresses, health services, and more. Devastating torrents fell in Aswan caused the destruction of homes, flooded streets, and disturbed enough scorpions to sting over 500 people. The EU is a major source of humanitarian aid to those impacted by war, epidemics, food shortages and natural disasters. In 2021 alone, the EU has allocated over six million euros in humanitarian aid to help people in need in Egypt.
