Sahar Mohammed Ismail, 48, from Aswan, one of the cancer patients hosted by Nahr el-Hub, is preparing her suitcase because she was selected to go for a 15-day Umrah pilgrimage to Mecca, in Giza, Egypt, January 29, 2023. Nahr el-Hub was set up by three female Egyptian retirees, to offer housing and support for cancer patients who are not residents of Cairo and were forced to come to the capital for treatment at the hospital.
