Continued search has been conducted by rescuers to save dozens of peopleSaturday after being thrown overboard when two ferries collided to each other in the Nile River in Northern Egypt.

About 50 people were on the ferry. Dozens of people were hospitalized and three dead bodies, including two children, were found at the site of the accident.
