Alexandria rescues 77-year-old homeless man after family refuses to take him

Alexandria's social solidarity rapid intervention team rescued a 77-year-old homeless man and lodged him in a care home after his family refused to receive him.

• The rapid intervention team of Alexandria's social solidarity directorate placed the man, "B.A." from Monufia, in Dar Al-Hadaya men's care home.
• An earlier placement at a private care home ended when he could not afford the fees despite receiving a Takaful and Karama pension.
• He was transferred to Abu Qir General Hospital for free medical exams and virus tests, and to Raml police station to file the required report.
• Hala Abdel Razek Gouda, undersecretary of the Alexandria social solidarity directorate, directed the prompt relief of humanitarian cases.
