Egypt faces prolonged power cuts due to energy and currency crises, leading to public frustration and life-threatening heatwaves.

Egypt has faced prolonged power cuts, or "load shedding," due to energy and foreign currency crises for the past year. The planned blackouts, lasting up to four hours a day in some regions, have led to public frustration and inconvenience, with critics claiming it threatens citizens' lives, particularly during heatwaves. The government has promised to end load shedding entirely by the end of the year, but some residents have already experienced heat-related deaths.
