DESASTRES

Continua a busca de desaparecidos no naufrágio de barco rutístico ao largo do Egipto

November 26, 2024 - equipas de salvamento continuam a procurar desaparecidos depois de
um barco turístico ter naufragado no mar Vermelho com 44 passageiros. Há ainda sete pessoas desaparecidas

This brings the total number of survivors to 33.

The “Sea Story” yacht sent a distress signal after it was hit by a large wave, causing it to capsize, according to survivors’ accounts. Some passengers were inside the cabins when the boat overturned within minutes, according to statements.

A rescue operation, still ongoing, was ordered and 28 people were rescued Monday from the vessel.

On Tuesday, the governor of the Red Sea region, Amr Hanafy, said the five survivors were two Belgians, an Egyptian, a Swiss citizen, and a Finnish national. He also said the four bodies are yet to be identified.

The boat carried 13 Egyptians, including crew members, and 31 foreign nationals from the United States, Germany, United Kingdom, Poland, Belgium, Switzerland, Finland, China, Slovakia, Spain, and Ireland, according to AP.
