6.24 magnitude earthquake felt in Egypt
Cairo CAIRO - 22 May 2025: No losses in life or facilities have resulted from a Thursday earthquake of a 6.24 on the Richter Scale magnitude at 6:19 a.m. Cairo local time. In a statement, Cairo Governorate said that the National Emergency and Public Safety Network Control Center and the governorate's Central Operations Room have followed up with the Cairo Security Directorate, Civil Defense, and all neighborhoods. The situation has stabilized, and monitoring is ongoing. The earthquake originated on the island of Crete at a depth of the 68.91. The epicenter is 499 kilometers north of Marsa Matrouh on the North Coast of Egypt. Turkey, Greece, and Libya were also affected by the earthquake. Only on May 14, Egyptians felt a 6.4 magnitude earthquake that also originated near Crete. Egypt incurred no losses in the aftermath. Taha Rabeh, head of the Egyptian National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics told Egypt Today explained that people felt the tremor in Cairo due to the soft clay soil, which was affected by the earthquake's depth despite the distance from the epicenter. Rabeh said the area east of Crete in the Mediterranean Sea is known for its seismic activity due to the subduction of the African plate beneath the European plate and the presence of an active fault, making it prone to earthquakes. He advised citizens to remain calm during any earthquake and to seek safe locations, such as under a sturdy table or piece of furniture, while avoiding windows and unsecured objects, warning against rushing outside, which could lead to greater disasters than the quake itself.
