At least 21 people have been confirmed dead following a bus accident in the South Sinai area of Egypt on Wednesday morning.
The accident occurred near the Al-Saada area on the Dahab-Nuweibaa road close to Nuweibaa where the vehicle overturned.
Reports noted that the bus carried 43 passengers, including 22 Jordanians. Ten of the victims were Jordanian nationals.
Twenty-nine other individuals were left injured from the accident and were taken to hospitals.
