Forty ambulances raced into the desert in southern Israel, after a bus carrying Russian tourists plunged1 80 meters into a desert ravine, killing2 23 people. White body bags were lined up in a row and baggage and wreckage3 were scattered4 over the steep slope down from the highway. The wrecked5 bus lay on its side.
　
Israeli soldiers carry a body past an overturned bus at scene of a crash near southern Israeli resort city of Eilat, 16 Dec. 2008

Police, soldiers and emergency workers sought to evacuate6 the injured, but rescue efforts were hindered by the rough terrain7. Six air force helicopters and ambulances ferried the injured to the nearby Red Sea resort of Eilat.

Eilat is a small city and Yosef Tal hospital was overwhelmed.

"Of course, a hospital like Yosef Tal is small, and does not have the same experience of say the major city hospitals that have been dealing8 with terror attacks," said Israeli trauma9 doctor Joe Djemal.

Many of the injured are in critical condition.

"In this case you have 36 injured people in your emergency room, and you are talking about a lot of very serious conditions, a lot of blood loss and everything else," Djemal said. "And once they have stabilized10 the patients, then they are being flown out to other hospitals."

Police have ruled out terrorism. One witness said the bus driver sped by him in a no passing zone, lost control and crashed through a guard rail into the ravine.

The tourists had just arrived on a flight from St. Petersburg.
