The Nagrig Charity Association in Basyoun city, Gharbiya announced that Mohamed Salah donated an oxygen tank to the Basyoun Central Hospital after oxygen shortages were reported in government hospitals, allegedly leading to some deaths.

Bakr added that through the Nagrig Charity Association, Salah and his family donated oxygen cylinders to help coronavirus patients in the village.
