Death toll from butane gas cylinder explosion at Giza rises to 7


The number of deaths from a butane gas cylinder explosion at Kerdasa on Sunday has risen following the death of a child, Ahmed Ibrahim Nasser Ashry, from his injuries. Family members reported that the incident began after a child turned the TV on after Iftar on Friday, while all the family members were sitting elsewhere, which caused an electric short. This led to the explosion of the butane gas cylinder, and the shattering of the walls of the ground floor, where the family gathered. Ambulances and firefighters arrived at the scene, and all members of the family were taken to hospitals, struggling to stay alive. A gas cylinder explosion has injured 18 people at a property in the Abu-Rawash area in Kerdasa, north Giza.
