Government sets compensation mechanisms for El Warraq island residents

The government is preparing to offer compensation to citizens affected by the demolitions made in Warraq Island, where residents who refused to be evicted clashed last year with security forces, Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly announced yesterday, according to a Cabinet statement. Residents can opt for financial compensation, alternative housing in a new city, or resettlement once the development of the island is complete. The government followed a similar compensation structure for the residents of the Maspero Triangle.
