(IsraelNN.com) Rescue efforts continue in Cairo following a rockslide in Egypt's capital, which has crushed at least 30 people to death and injured at least 40. The death toll is expected to rise above 500.
The dead and injured were residents of a shanty town in the Duwayqa neighborhood on Saturday, with a six-story building being reduced to rubble. Residents blame construction work on the hill above the area for the rockslide.
At least eight boulders - each estimated to weigh about 70 tons - fell in the morning on Saturday.
