Holidaymakers planning a trip to Sharm el-Sheikh have are being warned of potential shark infested waters, after a 70 year old women was killed by shark attack over the weekend and several others injured.
The 70 year old German woman who died after being bitten by an Oceanic white tip reef shark was snorkelling near a reef when the shark struck. The woman cried for help but when rescued by a lifeguard she was past resuscitation. The lifeguard confirmed her leg and arm was severed.
Other attacks include two Russian women and a man from the Ukraine one of which is critical though not yet confirmed which one. This has prompted the Egyptian tourism ministry to close the beach until the shark is killed.
Two sharks were caught and killed on Friday, however the description of the shark didn’t match the two that were slaughtered. Divers have called for the killing of any further sharks to stop.
