In Egypt, several people have been reported as missing after two passenger ferries collided in the north of Egypt's Nile river. Egypt's official state news agency quoted the governor of Beheira province as saying that six to eight people were missing. Some reports say that 13 people were rescued near the northern city of Rachid where the accident happened yesterday. Rescuers were still searching for those thought to be missing after one of the ferries broke in half and the other overturned.
