Blaze at Cairo telecommunications building kills 4
Four workers were killed and at least 22 others were injured in a fire that broke out on Monday at a key data centre in Cairo, Hossam Abdel Ghaffar, the spokesperson at Egypt's Health Ministry, told Reuters on Tuesday.
The blaze at a Telecom Egypt facility, which state TV said was contained on Monday, caused disruptions to communications across the capital.
Egypt's Minister of Communications and Information Technology, Amr Talaat, said in a statement on Tuesday that services will be gradually restored within 24 hours.
In a statement on Tuesday, Telecom Egypt said it mourned the employees that lost their lives and offered support for their families.
The injuries were mostly because of smoke inhalation, health ministry spokesperson Ghaffar said on Monday.
An initial examination indicated that the fire was likely to have been caused by an electrical short circuit, MENA cited a security source as saying. Reuters
