At least 21 dead in bus accident in Egypt's South Sinai

As many as 20 ambulances were sent to the crash scene to provide first aid and evacuate the injured, the Egyptian health ministry said.

The cause of the crash remains unknown.

The area along the ⁠Red Sea ‌coast ​is popular ​with tourists.

Last ‌month, 15 ​people were killed and 32 ​injured ​in ​a road accident ‌in Egypt's Ismailia governorate.

Road accidents are relatively common in Egypt, where many roads are often in disrepair and traffic regulations are laxly applied.
