Turkish Prisoners in Egypt A Report by the Delegates of the International Committee of the Red Cross

Turkish Prisoners in Egypt: A Report by the Delegates of the International Committee of the Red Cross, compiled by the International Committee of the Red Cross, delivers an unvarnished, first-hand account of Ottoman prisoners held in Egypt during World War I. Recorded after inspections in December 1916 and January 1917, the report chronicles camp life, sanitary and medical conditions, prisoner numbers, and the logistics of internment under wartime administration. Part history, part war story and humanitarian record, the narrative reflects the Red Cross delegates’ access to British-run camps—detailing visits to sites such as Heliopolis, interactions with military authorities, photographic documentation, and the distribution of relief. The text illuminates themes of neutrality, international humanitarian effort, and the practical challenges of POW care in the early 20th century, offering granular observations useful to scholars and curious readers alike. Ideal for listeners of history and war stories, as well as researchers of World War I, humanitarian law, and Red Cross archives, this audiobook presents a rare primary source voice. Listen for vivid, contemporary reportage that enriches understanding of wartime detention and the humanitarian response at a pivotal moment in modern history.
