Thousands of Egyptians have crowded around the entrance to Safaga port, weeping and shouting in anger as they await news of relatives missing on a ferry that sank in the Red Sea. Search and rescue teams have found 300 survivors and at least 185 bodies so far after the ship sank during a crossing from the Saudi port of Duba to Safaga, 600 kilometres south-east of Cairo.
