Featuring a slew of celebrities and notable figures, including actresses Nada Bassyouni and Hanan Shawky, as well as Azhar Mufti Sheikh Aly Gomaa and the Coptic Church's Father Abdel-Masih Basit. The video also announces a hotline for concerned citizens to call to report anyone or anything that's causing harm to the river on 15116. Check it out here:
