WHO has recognized Egypt as a malaria-free country. WHO has certified Egypt as a malaria-free country, marking a historic milestone in the fight against the disease, the organization said in a press release. “The World Health Organization (WHO) has certified Egypt as malaria-free, a significant public health achievement for a country of more than 100 million people,” the organization said in a statement on its website. The WHO added that the achievement was the result of “nearly 100 years of efforts by the Egyptian government and people” to prevent the disease, which has been prevalent in the country since ancient times. WHO grants malaria-free status to a country if it provides detailed and reliable evidence that the chain of transmission of malaria-carrying mosquitoes has been interrupted throughout its entire territory for at least the last three years. Malaria is an infection transmitted through a mosquito bite. WHO previously reported that despite progress, the African region continues to be hit hardest by the deadly disease.

Electricity tariffs for Swiss households will rise by up to 60% in 2023

Electricity tariffs for Swiss households will rise by up to 60% in 2023

Depending on suppliers, electricity prices for Swiss households will rise by up to 60% in 2023 due to the closure of French nuclear power plants, gas shortages and drought.

“Next year, electricity prices in all of French-speaking Switzerland will rise slightly, and sometimes painfully. According to several announcements made by electricity providers on Wednesday, tariffs could rise by almost 60% for some households,” the official statement said.


Utility tariffs are rising mainly for two reasons: the increase in the costs of using the Swissgrid network (manager of the Swiss electricity transmission network ), on the one hand, but, above all, a sharp increase in energy prices in the markets, the reasons for which are numerous: the failure of the French nuclear power plants, gas shortages and even drought.
