Foreign press covers Egypt’s medical goodwill, healthcare pariahs

Leading coverage of Egypt in the foreign press: Egypt’s shipment of medical supplies to the US yesterday as a gesture of goodwill and solidarity. The Washington Post notes that naysayers wonder whether Egypt can afford such gestures without depleting its own essential supplies. Local news outlets in the US including ABC7 News and WJZ also had the story.

Elsewhere, AFPlooks at how some of the country’s healthcare workers are being shunned by their own communities over fears they might transmit covid-19 after battling it on the front lines.
