Abu Mazen Sends Condolences to Tebboune on Boumerdes Tragedy
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas expressed his condolences to President Abdelmadjid Tebboune of Algeria and the families of the victims of the bus crash in Boumerdes, which resulted in 27 deaths and injured 39 others, including some in critical condition. Algerian authorities increased the death toll from 25 to 27 after transferring the injured to hospitals and completing rescue operations. The accident occurred when a bus coming from Sétif veered off its course and fell into a ravine about 50 kilometers east of Algiers, amid the presence of rescue teams and relevant agencies that have launched an investigation to determine the causes of the incident. Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune announced a national three-day mourning period, with flags at half-mast, and pledged to hold those responsible accountable. He affirmed that the investigation is still ongoing to identify the exact reasons, while rescue teams continue efforts to evacuate the injured and provide medical care. This incident is among the deadliest mass transportation accidents in the country and has sparked a debate about transportation safety and the oversight of public transport vehicles.
