Egypt's public prosecution said on Sunday it had ordered the arrest of three people after thousands of unused Covid-19 vaccines were found dumped along a water channel.
It said the vaccines had been allocated to the health directorate in the city of Minya, about 220km south of Cairo, where 18,400 vaccine packages with a value of more than 5-million Egyptian pounds were found to be missing.
Images posted on social media showed piles of white boxes scattered along the water channel's banks in Bani Mazar province, north of Minya.
