Egyptian Blogger Surrenders after Allegedly Faking Cancer to Collect Donations
Egyptian: An Egyptian blogger has surrendered to police after allegedly collecting millions of pounds through fake cancer treatment appeals on social media.
According to reports, blogger Donia Fouad from Ismailia raised nearly four million Egyptian pounds by claiming she was suffering from cancer and needed money for medical treatment. Thousands of followers reportedly donated after seeing her emotional online posts.
Authorities later conducted medical examinations and confirmed that Fouad did not have cancer. Police had earlier detained her husband for questioning during the investigation into the fundraising campaign.

Fouad claimed she was struggling with mental health issues and said she needed psychological treatment. She apologised to the public and admitted her actions were wrong.
She also revealed that she enjoyed the sympathy and attention she received while pretending to be sick. According to her statement, the care shown by her husband and followers gave her emotional comfort.
