This morning, tens of parents took to the streets, with their babies on their shoulders, to express their anger over the disappearance of subsidized milk and the rise of non-subsidized milk prices in the market from 15% to 30%. They blocked the Corniche road, close to the Egyptian Medicine Company, the main supplier for subsidized milk, leading to traffic jams at the Mo’assassa square in Shubra El-Kheima.
Mahmoud Fouad, the director of the Egyptian Centre for Medical Rights, announced that starting today subsidized milk will be sold for EGP 5 instead of EGP 3 for day-old to six-month-old babies and will be sold for EGP 26 instead of EGP 18 for older children.
