Sharjah 24 – AFP: A fire that broke out Sunday in a Coptic Christian church in Egypt's capital Cairo killed 41 people, church officials said.
The blaze started for unknown reasons at the Abu Sifine church in the capital's northwestern, working-class district of Imbaba, officials said.

President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi declared on his Facebook page "I have mobilised all state services to ensure that all measures are taken".

Fire services later said the blaze had been brought under control.
