A microbus loaded with passengers fell from al-Sahel Bridge to the bottom of the Nile River on Sunday afternoon, and a search is underway for survivors. The Civil Protection Operations Room at the Interior Ministry received a signal from the police that the microbus overturned and fell from the top of the Bridge into the Nile waters. The security services moved to the scene of the accident, accompanied by river rescuers. “The microbus banged on the iron fence of the bridge, went off with the passengers, and no one came out again,” an eyewitness said. Security services from the Interior Ministry continue to search for victims, as Civil Protection forces have deployed seven boats to search.
