Land Slide |
Egypt |
Up to 200 people are feared to have been buried in their homes after rockslides crushed a shantytown in the eastern Duwayqa area on 6 September 2008. Reports said that at least eight boulders - each estimated to weigh about 70 tonnes - fell from the towering cliffs overlooking the district at about 0900 local time (0700 GMT). Thirty people have been declared dead, 49 injured. 50 homes have been destroyed in the impoverished and densely populated Manshiyet Nasr neighbourhood. Some people are believed to be still trapped in the rubble and police have cordoned off the area. The toll is expected to drastically raise, considering the number of missing, the hit, the dust and the difficulty of the search and rescue operation (difficult access for heavy equipment, high tensions between local population and governmental authorities). |
