CAIRO – 17 October 2021: First Lady Intissar al-Sisi posted on her social media accounts Sunday on the occasion of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.

'On the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, I greet all Egyptian youths roaming rural villages from the North to the South to provide our people with a decent life.
