The war between Israel and Iran is severely affecting Egyptians.
Israel's decision to stop the flow of gas to Egypt due to the fighting is causing a noticeable shock to the Egyptian energy sector.
The shortage led the Egyptian government to issue an order to governors and mayors to reduce street and intersection lighting by about 60%. Government offices were also required to turn off all electrical appliances starting at 8:00 p.m. There is also a ban on electronic billboards between 9:00 p.m. and midnight. Businesses are required to close by 11:00 p.m.
In addition to these measures, Egypt has begun urgently importing diesel fuel to operate its power stations. Furthermore, due to the shortage of Israeli gas, Egypt has decided to shut down gas-intensive industries such as the fertilizer industry. In short, it is a serious blow to the Egyptian economy and the daily lives of Egyptians.
