Egyptian Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly said the situation in Egypt over the past decades did not enable the state to handle these files because of wars and instability.
But still overpopulation is a big challenge looming ahead in Egypt over a span of 100 years, he went on to say.
He confirmed, according to MENA, that the problem of overpopulation should be seriously dealt with nationwide.
The housing issue was very important for the state over long decades, he said, adding that the state has adopted a strategy for handling the overpopulation problem, based on building new cities and overhauling old houses.
Over the past seven years, the state was successful in doubling the establishment of housing units in Egypt, compared to the past 40 years, according to him.
Madbouly further mentioned that the state builds 225,000 homes in one year and aims to increase the construction work in the period to come.
