Twin deadly earthquakes in Turkey, Syria dominate coverage

Yesterday’s devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria dominated coverage on the talk shows last night. Ala Mas’ouleety got most of its air time focused on the deadly twin earthquakes with an interview with National Seismological Network head Gad El Qadi (watch, runtime: 3:32). Kelma Akhira dedicated the whole show to the disaster and also interviewed El Qadi (watch, runtime: 13:13)

Minor aftershocks are expected to occur until today, El Gadi told Ala Mas’ouleety. “Unless another earthquake occurs in a neighboring region, then we’ll see the aftershocks reinvigorated. This will further exacerbate the crisis,” he said.

El Hekaya’s Amr Adib wants everyone here at home to know the ABCs of what to do when an earthquake hits, urging authorities to train students and employees on evacuations during last night’s show (watch, runtime: 3:25). Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 14:24) and Masaa DMC (watch, runtime: 1:56) also gave the story coverage.

President El Sisi’s sit down yesterday with his Croatian counterpart, Zoran Milanovic, got a mention from Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 5:12) and Masaa DMC (watch, runtime: 1:46). Former Deputy FM Mohamed Hegazi spoke with Al Hayah Al Youm on the importance of recent visits by some EU leaders. He said that Egypt is looking to forge deeper partnerships with some European countries and consult over the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war.
