-

Egypt’s Health Ministry has punished six medics who took selfies in front of a deadly train wreck by transferri­ng them to a remote part of the country, it said on Saturday. Two trains collided on Friday near the Mediterran­ean city of Alexandria, killing 41. Pictures of an ambulance crew taking selfie pictures in front of the wreckage sparked anger on social media. Dubbed the “Selfie Medics”, the ministry said six members of the ambulance crew had been transferre­d to the western Siwa oasis as punishment.
