Egypt tourist boat sinks Red Sea

A tour boat carrying 44 people has sunk in the Red Sea, with 16 people still missing.
The boat, called the Sea Story, was carrying 30 tourists and 14 crew members when it capsized on Monday afternoon. The boat was on a diving trip near the town of Marsa Alam when it was hit by a large wave.
Twenty-eight people have been rescued and are being treated for minor injuries, but 16 people are still missing. The search for the missing people is ongoing.
The Egyptian authorities are investigating the cause of the sinking.
This is the second tourist boat to sink in the Red Sea this year. In June, a boat carrying 24 French tourists safely evacuated after their boat began to sink.
The Red Sea is a popular tourist destination for scuba diving and snorkeling, but it can also be dangerous. The sea is home to strong currents and winds, which can make it difficult for boats to navigate.
If you are planning a trip to the Red Sea, be sure to take the following precautions:
* Check the weather forecast before you go.
* Choose a reputable tour operator.
* Make sure the boat is safe and well-maintained.
* Wear a life jacket when you are on the boat.
* Be aware of the risks of swimming in the Red Sea.
By following these precautions, you can help to ensure that your trip to the Red Sea is a safe and enjoyable one.
