Children swim in the Nile to reach their home after flooding in Dalhamo Village, near the Delta city of Ashmoun, in Menoufia Governorate, Egypt, October 5, 2025. Egypt’s Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said the government had anticipated the rise in water levels, which coincides with the flood season and Ethiopia’s inauguration of its dam. He said higher-than-usual discharges are expected until the end of October, adding that the flooded areas in Menoufia and Beheira are part of the Nile’s flood zone and have been encroached upon by some citizens.
