11 die after fishing boat and cargo ship collide in Gulf of Suez
An Egyptian fishing boat collided with a container ship Sunday in the Gulf of Suez, killing 11 fishermen and injuring 11. Twenty-three men are missing, officials said.
Egyptian naval vessels and medical teams raced to the shores of the town of Al-Tur, the capital of southern Sinai, to rescue the fishermen.
The container ship was a Panama-flagged vessel carrying 220,000 tons of cargo coming from an Italian port, according to Abdul-Rahim Mostafa, spokesman for the Red Sea Ports Authorities.
