He added that Egypt received over the past seven weeks over 220,000 people from Sudan over the crisis from which their country is suffering.
He said millions of people fled to Egypt from their countries which were suffering from infighting and problems, expounding that Egypt – despite its hard conditions – opened the door for them to join its schools and be treated at its hospitals.
