The Egyptian Red Crescent launched a comprehensive nationwide plan to provide medical coverage and emergency support during the festivities.

The organization raised its state of maximum readiness, deploying 62 emergency response teams comprising hundreds of trained volunteers. These teams were strategically positioned at major mosques, public parks, and popular recreational areas across the country, ensuring rapid access to first aid and immediate medical assistance during peak gatherings.

Emergency response units were also present at designated Eid prayer grounds, where large crowds gathered early in the morning. Volunteers provided on-site first aid services and stood ready to intervene swiftly in urgent cases, reinforcing public safety during one of the busiest public occasions of the year.

Meanwhile, the central operations room monitored the implementation of the national coverage plan from the early hours of the day. The unit coordinated field teams and assessed their readiness in real time, ensuring that all designated locations were fully equipped and operational.

The Egyptian Red Crescent urged citizens to seek assistance through on-site medical points located at celebration venues or by contacting its emergency hotline (15322). Additional support is also accessible through its official page on Facebook, where users can request help and stay informed about available services.

In a closing statement, the organization extended its heartfelt congratulations to the Egyptian people, expressing hopes for a joyful holiday marked by safety, stability, and continued national progress.
