Deadly electrical fire at Egypt church kills dozens of worshippers, including children
Description
August 14, 2022
A deadly fire has left at least 41 people dead at a church in Egypt, many of them children. The Coptic Abu Sifin church in Cairo was packed with 5,000 worshippers for Sunday mass when an electrical fire broke out and caused many people to be crushed during a desperate scramble to escape. The cause has been deemed accidental, but the tragedy points to a serious problem in the country. Mike Drolet has the top story today.
