A shark attack in Egypt’s Red Sea resort town of Marsa Alam has killed one foreigner and injured another, Egypt’s Ministry of Environment said in a statement Sunday.
The attack occurred in deep waters, the ministry said, outside the designated swimming area of Marsa Alam.
The injured foreigner was taken Porto Ghalib hospital for treatment, the ministry statement said, adding that an emergency committee has been established to investigate the incident.
Their nationalities have not been disclosed.
There have been several similar incidents in recent years.
Last year, a deadly shark attack killed a Russian citizen in the popular tourist city of Hurghada on Egypt’s eastern coast, prompting the closure of nearby beaches.
In a tragic incident at a popular Egyptian Red Sea resort, a shark attack has claimed the life of one foreigner and left another injured. The attack occurred while the victims were snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters, enjoying the beauty of the underwater world.
Authorities have confirmed that a shark was responsible for the attack, although the exact species has not been identified. The injured individual is currently receiving medical treatment, and their condition is reported to be stable.
This shocking incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of wildlife, even in seemingly safe and picturesque locations. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families during this difficult time.
We urge all visitors to the Red Sea to exercise caution and follow safety guidelines while enjoying the natural beauty of the ocean. Stay informed about local wildlife and take necessary precautions to prevent any potential incidents.
