<p>Fifteen people have died after a bus packed with 77 schoolgirls was swept off a road by floods in southern Egypt.</p>
<p>Poorly equipped rescue workers and local residents struggled to save passengers on the bus, which overturned in a deep trench next to the road leading to the city of Minya, 124 miles south of the capital, Cairo.</p>
<p>The last two survivors were pulled out of the waters early on Friday.</p>
<p>Eyewitnesses reported seeing bodies of young girls wearing headscarves and school uniforms floating in the water.</p>
<p>The dead included an ambulance driver who had rescued 20 of those on board the bus before the floods swept him away and he also drowned.</p>
<p>The school girls and their teachers had been on a trip to Minya and were returning home to the town of Assiut.</p>
<p>According to the police report, survivors recounted that the bus driver had stopped to have a closer look at the surrounding terrain, inundated with torrential rains and flooding when the waters suddenly swept them away.</p>
<p>Egypt&#8217;s southern region, where village houses are built of mud bricks and the roads are poorly maintained, was heavily affected during rains and bad winter weather earlier this week.</p>
