CAIRO - 23 October 2021: The cabinet media center denied Saturday media reports claiming that Egypt is vulnerable to poisonous gases and emissions from La Palma volcano in the Canary Island off the coast of northwestern Africa.

In a statement, the center said it had contacted the Environment Ministry which dismissed the news as groundless.

Due to the geographical distance between Egypt and the volcanic field, Egypt is not prone to these gases, which move upwards to higher layers of the Earth's atmosphere.

The center called on media and social media users to verify the authenticity of any circulating news to avoid perplexing public opinion.
