18 girls died and 9 others were injured after a microbus sank in the southern Egyptian governorate of Giza carrying female workers while crossing the Nile using a ferry, on Tuesday morning.
The Egyptian authorities had received a report of the sinking of a bus containing a group of girls between the ages of 17 and 25, who were on their way to work on a farm.
Security services, river rescue forces and ambulances headed to the scene of the incident, where a security cordon was imposed to facilitate the recovery of victims.
The accident occurred after an argument between the driver and a young man over the harassment of one of the girls, which led to the driver leaving the microbus without securing it with hand brakes, causing it to slide into the waters of the Nile.
The Governor of Giza, Major General Ahmed Rashid, is following up on the health status of the injured and tasked the concerned authorities with providing the necessary health care and disbursing urgent subsidies to the families of the injured and the deceased.
