Egyptian government evicts residents, demolishes houses in Port Said
On Sunday, accompanied by police, bulldozers began demolishing houses in Al-Gameel Neighbourhood, Port Said, Egypt, after evicting residents.
In 1978, the state granted 317 plots of land to citizens on the condition that they would build and develop them. In 2023, the Port Said municipality decided to remove the houses reportedly without providing any reason.
Residents took their case to court but were unable to reverse the decision. At least 2,500 families are believed to be affected by the demolitions.
