Press office of Luxor Governor

Poor girl I did give her such a hard time but it did have an affect and we have an update. They are not used to people wanting information on the hour every hour.

23:50
Just had a long conversation with Rania the press officer of Samir Farag, so Egyptian, so frustrating.

I told her there should be an official announcement what is going on. She tells me that when they cut the water they will announce it on TV. I keep telling her that people want information now. She keeps telling me there is nothing official. I keep telling her then there should be.

I THINK but please don't quote me that they are hoping to contain the spill in Aswan but if they don't then they will cut the water with about 3 seconds warning. So yes you should stock up but maybe it will not be needed. Sorry not to be more helpful
