Rescue teams in Minya, Egypt, were able to save 100 workers from drowning inside a ship, halfway sinking in the River Nile.

Sources said that the security services in Minya received a report from the water police that a Nile ship had broken down and sank.

They added that the police, river rescue teams, and security forces moved to the scene of the accident, where inspection and investigations revealed that the ship was coming from Cairo and was empty of guests, but had 100 of its workers on board.

Some websites reported that the Nile ship partially sank after colliding with a bridge during its crossing, without causing any harm to workers on board, noting that the losses were only material.

Egyptian media confirmed that the workers were able to get out of the boat before it sank, and the Nile ship was rescued safely.
