Angry relatives of ferry passengers storm Egypt port
Picture

Survivors wrapped in blankets arrive at the port of the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Hurghada yesterday. Rescue teams scoured the Red Sea for survivors after an Egyptian ferry sank, leaving more than 1,000 people dead or missing in one of the worst maritime tragedies in years as the rescued people spoke of a fire on board the ill-equipped vessel.
