Egypt extends its deep condolences to Morocco over the tragic road accident that left about 33 people dead, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Badr Abdel Aatti said on Saturday.

He added that Egypt stands by the people of Morocco in their tragedy.

At least 33 people, mostly schoolchildren returning from a sports event, were killed Friday near the city southern of Tan-Tan when their bus caught fire after a head-on collision with a trailer truck.
