The bodies of 33 people killed in an Airbus A321 crash in Egypt last Saturday had been identified as of Wednesday morning, St. Petersburg Deputy Governor Igor Albin said at an Emergency Situations Ministry teleconference on Wednesday.

"An interagency staff including two operational groups is continuing to work in St. Petersburg. Premises have been allotted for identifying the dead, and workplaces for Investigative Committee officials have been equipped. Hot meals have been provided to relatives of the dead, and psychological aid has been rendered to them," Albin said.

Seventy-five psychologists are working with relatives and beloved ones of the crash victims in St. Petersburg, he said.
