In Egypt, officials are estimating 1,000 people are dead or missing from last week’s ferry accident. Survivors and relatives are blaming the ferry operator for ignoring a fire that eventually brought down the ship. Questions are also being raised about why it took the Egyptian government seven hours to begin search and rescue operations. So far over 400 people have been rescued but doctors do not expect many more survivors.
