Egypt's Health Minister Khaled Abdel Ghaffar is closely monitoring the aftermath of the fire that broke out on Monday evening at the Ramses exchange in downtown Cairo, according to a statement by the ministry. The ministry advised using alternative emergency contact numbers: 01270055785, 01279541644, 01157374108, 01124490657, or 137 if unable to reach ambulance services on the standard hotline 123 due to telecom disruptions. Abdel Ghaffar immediately ordered the activation of the Health Ministry's central emergency room, along with round-the-clock crisis units across governorates, to ensure real-time follow-up and rapid response.
