The electrical fire inside the Abu Seifain Church caused plumes of smoke, which blocked the entrance to the church, resulting in a stampede among worshipers, according to a ministry statement. Hospitals across Egypt’s second largest city were placed on alert as part of efforts to ensure the facilities are well-equipped to deal with a potential influx of patients. Egypt’s top prosecutor Hamada Elsaway has ordered a probe into the circumstances behind the incident, added the statement
