MANILA<\/strong>— The Philippine Embassy in Egypt has extended assistance to the Filipinos who figured in a bus crash in Mount Sinai on Tuesday night, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said on Friday.<\/p>\n

DFA Assistant Secretary Eduardo Me\u00f1ez said the injured are part of a group of 23 Filipinos who were en route to Israel for a “Holy Land tour”.<\/p>\n

The injured Filipinos are at a hospital in Egypt, some of whom have reportedly sustained fractures and minor bruises.<\/p>\n

“It seems that those with serious injuries are still under treatment. The Philippine embassy has sent an assistance team because they were far from Cairo,” Me\u00f1ez told the Philippine News Agency.<\/p>\n

“Hindi malinaw kung ilan sa<\/em>\u00a023 and ‘injured’\u00a0kasi karamihan<\/em>\u00a0minor bruises\u00a0lang<\/em>\u00a0(It’s not clear how many of the 23 were seriously injured because some only sustained minor bruises),” he added.<\/p>\n

Menez said the group requested privacy and asked the embassy not to disclose further details.<\/p>\n

“We will respect their wishes,” he said in an earlier statement.<\/p>\n

“I can only share that the embassy in Cairo under Ambassador Sulpicio Confiado is providing assistance to them,” he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
