Egypt's Ismailia governor, Lieutenant General Nabil Hasb Allah, has overseen the launch of an initiative to sell fish and seafood at discounted prices in the city's Friday market. The move aims to alleviate the financial burden on citizens and provide essential food items at affordable prices. The initiative has drawn a significant number of customers, with kilo of "shobar" fish priced at 40 Egyptian pounds.

Governor Hasb Allah emphasized the importance of expanding initiatives that target providing basic needs for families at reasonable prices. He also stressed the governorate's continued support for such initiatives, aiming to increase the number of beneficiaries.
