Earthquake kills more than 300 in northern Egypt
The Associated Press
CAIRO, Egypt — One of the strongest earthquakes to hit Egypt in modern times topped buildings yesterday and caused deadly stampedes of panned residents. The government said 370 people were killed and more than 3,300 injured.
A mother, holding her dead son and shouting for help, was pulled from the rubble of a building more than seven hours after the afternoon earthquake that registered 5.9 on the Richter scale.
schools.
Many victims were trampled to death, including more than 100 schoolchildren in the Cairo area, said Maj. Gen. Rida Abdel-Aziz, an assistant interior minister. They were killed as they rushed from swaying
Rescuers struggled into the night to the survivors from debris.
Authorities declared a state of emergency in this city of 14 million people.
The quake was centered about 20 miles southwest of Cairo, a few miles from the pyramids and the Sphinx on the Giza Plateau. But Information Minister Safat el-Sherif said major monuments survived the 20-second temblor.
The quake was preceded by a roar. "At first I thought it was a bomb in the bank," said Samy Mohammed Ali, an assistant security officer and I realized it was an earthquake."
People thronged in Cairo's streets after the ackle. Many seemed dazed. One woman stood on a sidewalk screaming. A knot of people sat in a
downtown square, tears streaking
down their cheeks.
Thousands crowded around the ruins of a 14-story apartment building in the northern suburb of Heliopolis late yesterday while five bulldozers cleared debris under floodlights.
An ambulance worker said about 15 people were pulled out alive before nightfall, including mother Samia Ragab Khali.
Her condition was unknown. She was removed, dazed, on a stretcher, after she was found holding her dead son and shouting for help.
The dead in the southern suburb of Maadi, where many Americans and other Westerners live, included six Euvietan schoolchildren.
girl, wearing a school uniform, fall dead after a collapsing wall hit her. A wall collapse in a downtown Cairo shop killed a worker. Five boys died in a stumpede from a collapsing school in Shubra, a poorer Cairo district.
Maadi resident Fahima Taha Aly Suleiman said she saw a 14-year-old
Abdel-Aziz said most schoolchildren were casualties of panic.
The security force's operations room in Cairo reported last night that 116 buildings were reported destroyed or badly damaged throughout Egypt.
Eight hours after the jolt, the interior Ministry reported that the quake killed 370 and injured 3,369 in nine of Egypt's 28 provinces.
the south, with 128 dead and 700 hurt, it said.
The quake spared Aswan High Dam, which holds back 310-mile-long Lake Nasser, the world's largest artificial lake. A breach would have sent water gushing straight down the Nile Valley to Cairo.
Egyptian Museum director Mohammed Saleh said only two large statues among more than 100,000 pieces on display were damaged.
Whether Cairo's wealth of Islamic and Coptic monuments were undermined by the earthquake was not immediately known.
The quake was felt as far away as Jerusalem, 250 miles northeast of Cairo.

Natural makeups provide conscious buyers' choices
By Beth Jurkowski Special to the Kansan
Special to the Kansan
Several area retailers offer a variety of products that are environmentally conscious, not tested on animals and do not use animal ingredients.
The debate on testing facial cleansers and make-up on animals such as rabbits has created new lines of skin-care products for animal-rights activists.
Natural Way, 820 Massachusetts St., carries six different lines of natural skin and hair-care products. One line. Beauty Without Cruelty, is one of the first cosmetics companies to refuse to test on animals. The line includes a full skin and hair-care line. The make-up is water based, the mascara is plant-based.
plan based.
Sandy Chapman, Natural Way assistant manager, said she converted from Mary Kay to Beauty Without Cruelty.
Aveda is another all-natural skin and haircare line. Aveda uses pure distilled essences
Natural Way's other skin and hair-care lines include soaps, aroma-therapy based products, which is the pure essence of plants and flowers, mineral baths, body lotions and powders and essence oils.
"I always look for something that is a quality product and it has to be all natural and non-animal tested," Chapman said. "Natural products make you feel very good about yourself."
"It is not possible to have a 100-percent natural product," Chapman said. "Some preservatives have to be used to give the product shelf life."
from flowers and herbs as a base for all of their products. Jim Grimes, general manager of Headmasters of Lawrence, 809 Vermont St., said that the Aveda products stimulated the senses and acted as a d-stressor.
Jessica Kelley, McLean, Va., sophomore,
said that she used the Aveda hair-care line
because it made her feel good and made her
hair smell good. She also said that she used
Aveda because it was hard for her to find a
good shampoos for her thick, curly hair.
The Body Shop, located in the Country Club Plaza, 421 Nichols Rd. in Kansas City, Mo., offers natural based products, said Susan Rivers, employee.
The Body Shop defines natural based as using a raw, naturally occurring product whenever available, she said. But, if there was an ethical dilemma involved such as making musk oil, they would use synthetic ingredients. When musk oil is made, it is extracted from the musk deer, and the procedure is painful for the deer.
The Body Shop does not test on animals, and will not buy from companies that do, Rivers said.
The Food and Drug Administration requires cosmetic companies to clearly list the ingredients in a way that is easy to understand and see. The FDA also requires cosmetic companies to state the safety of any ingredient that is not known. A warning label on the package can state: The safety of this product has not yet been determined.
"You should think about what you put on your face, body and environment," Rivers said.
