Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi stated that Egypt hosts about 9 million refugees, noting that it treats them like Egyptian citizens, without setting up camps or camps.
Sisi explained that these refugees consume about 4.5 billion liters of water annually, a major challenge facing the government in conjunction with the needs of the local population.
Sisi added that water challenges are a top priority for the country, prompting the government to implement projects to improve irrigation systems and develop infrastructure worth millions of pounds.
He also pointed to the need to expand desalination and treatment plants, despite their high cost, to make the most of water resources.
El-Sisi pointed out that the Egyptian Future Authority for Sustainable Development is working on implementing agricultural reclamation projects in multiple areas, with the aim of cultivating 4.5 million feddans by 2027, noting that making full use of water resources will enhance the ability to achieve sustainable development in the country.
