So what are the most prominent incidents recorded by the Ain Libya website today, Tuesday, July 30, 2024!

In Egypt, a tourist yacht sank in the Nile River between the Qasr El Nil and Old Cairo districts, with 14 Egyptian and Saudi passengers on board.
The Old Cairo Police Department received a notification from the security services at Qasr Al-Aini Hospital stating that injured and dead people had arrived after a yacht sank in the Great Branch of the Nile River between the fountain and the Sofitel Hotel, within the Qasr Al-Nil Police Department.
It turned out that an Egyptian family was hosting their Saudi relatives who went out for a picnic in the Nile waters and boarded a tourist yacht, but it fell into the water, resulting in 4 Saudis and 5 Egyptians suffering from suffocation. Their health condition improved, and it turned out that two Egyptians died, and a search is underway for 3 missing people in the water.
Initial investigations into the incident revealed that the yacht had an expired license, was small in size and could carry 4 people, and that its driver did not have any licenses to operate in this area. Initial investigations continued, and that the balance of the small yacht was lost and its bow fell into the Nile River, causing it to fill with water and sink.
In India, multiple landslides caused by heavy rains in southern India killed 49 people.
According to local media, “Landslides hit mountain villages in Wayanad district of Kerala early Tuesday, destroying several houses and a bridge. Rescuers worked to pull out those stranded and trapped under piles of mud and debris, but their efforts were hampered by blocked roads and unstable terrain.”
“At least 24 bodies have been found so far,” said state health minister Veena George, adding: “We are trying by all means to save our people.” Later, the death toll was announced to have risen to 63.
India regularly experiences severe flooding during the monsoon season between June and September, which brings most of South Asia’s annual rainfall. Kerala is prone to heavy rains, floods and landslides. In 2018, nearly 500 people died there in one of the worst floods.
In Japan, “grilled eel, a popular summer dish in Japan, caused food poisoning at a supermarket that killed one woman and sickened more than 140 people, the store’s manager said.”
According to Agence France-Presse, “Shinji Kaneko, manager of the Kikyo store in Yokohama, about an hour from Tokyo, apologized after customers who bought meals containing grilled eel last week suffered from vomiting and diarrhea.”
“One of the customers, who turned out to be a woman in her 90s, passed away,” Kaneko said, offering his “sincere condolences.”
The meals included eel cooked in the traditional “kabayaki” style, which is grilled and covered in a mixture of soy sauce and rice wine for cooking. Eel, which is consumed all over the world, is particularly popular in Asia, and remains found in Japanese graves show that it has been consumed in the archipelago for thousands of years.
Returning to politics, the most important cause of deaths and injuries in the world, in Venezuela, “opposition supporters in central Caracas threw Molotov cocktails at police, prompting police to use tear gas.”
“Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez announced that more than 20 soldiers were injured during the clashes in Venezuela, some of whom were shot.”
“23 soldiers were injured, some with gunshot wounds, and are receiving medical care,” Lopez said in a post on the X platform, adding: “We call on citizens and political forces in the country to remain calm.”
Earlier, the head of Venezuela’s National Electoral Council (CEN), Elvis Amoroso, announced that after counting 80 percent of the ballots, President Maduro had obtained 51.2 percent of the votes; thus, Maduro secured his victory in the presidential elections.
