At least 41 people have been killed in a fire at the Coptic Abu Sifin church in Giza, Egypt. More than 5,000 worshipers were gathered in the multi-level church for Mass when the fire broke out. Reports say the fire blocked the entrance, and several of the dead were crushed as people rushed to get away. Other fatalities are said to be some who jumped from the upper floors after they were trapped. It’s also been confirmed that children are among the dead. Authorities will investigate the cause of the fire, but witnesses say the power was out and a generator short-circuited, causing a big electrical fire. Egypt’s Coptic Christians account for about 10% of the nation’s 103 million people, and there is a history of discrimination against them by the nation’s Muslim majority. Safety standards and fire regulations are poorly enforced in Egypt, and reports say this is one of the worst fires in recent years.
