Cairo
Egypt's Transport Minister Kamel al-Wazir stated that the safety of citizens and property is a "top priority" during an inspection of the Cairo Metro Line 4 project, following minor ground subsidence at a residential building near the Malek el-Saleh station site. Residents of Building 30 and an adjacent property were evacuated as a precautionary measure after a sudden water pipe burst, and provided accommodation in nearby hotels in the Manial district. The evacuation will continue until soil injection and treatment works are completed to secure the building and the station structure.
