Workers on six river vessels sent by the Armed Forces to retrieve the barge that sank days ago in River Nile in Qena with 500 tons of phosphate on board continued retrieval operations with giant winches.
Qena governor Abdel Hamid Al Haggan said 95 percent of the sunken phosphate had been recovered so far.
He said a team of the Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority (EAEA) withdrew water samples from the scene and found the results negative with no change on the nature of water which remained fit for drinking.
