Kuwait to swiftly send home bodies of 5 dead Egyptians

KUWAIT CITY - 3 April 2018: The Kuwaiti Interior Ministry took all needed measures to swiftly send home the bodies of five Egyptians who died in a tragic car accident on Sunday, a well-placed Kuwaiti official said.

In statements to MENA on Tuesday, the source said the ministry seeks to finalize measures to hand over the bodies of 15 foreign workers including Egyptian, Indian and Pakistani nationals who died when two trucks carrying workers of contracting companies crashed.

The ministry will either send the bodies of the deceased to their homeland or entitle their embassies with the mission, he said.

The source noted that the Kuwaiti insurance company will pay compensations for the families of the victims.
