RESCUERS pulled only a handful more survivors from the Red Sea yesterday, dashing hopes of survival for 1,000 people still missing after the sinking of a ferry.

More than 100 protesters demonstrated outside an Egyptian port today demanding to know the fate of family and friends on board the ferry which sank in the Red Sea.

Two people were killed as police fought with voters trying to break the police blockades of polling stations in opposition strongholds today, the final day of Egypt’s parliamentary elections.
