CAIRO: The Cairo Bike project — enabling people to rent bicycles for use on the city’s congested streets — has proved a huge success.
The number of users of the project, launched in October, 2022, has exceeded 25,000 and includes tourists and residents.
Cairo Gov. Maj. Gen. Khaled Abdel Aal said: “Monitoring and follow-up data for the project showed a rapid growth in the user base, with the system receiving significant interest.”
Cyclists have also expressed their satisfaction about the new system.
GAZA STRIP: A six-year-old Palestinian girl who went missing after the family’s car came under fire in war-ravaged Gaza was found dead Saturday, the health ministry and her relatives said, accusing Israel of killing her.
The last time Hind Rajab had been seen was about two weeks ago when she was surrounded by dead relatives after becoming trapped in the vehicle as they tried to flee Gaza City as Israeli forces advanced.
“Hind and everyone else in the car is martyred,” the girl’s grandfather, Baha Hamada told AFP.
