Egyptian authorities say 17 people are missing, including foreigners, and 28 have been rescued after a tourist boat sank in the Red Sea.
A distress signal was received at 05:30 (03:30 GMT) from the Sea Story, which left port near Marsa Alam on Saturday for a five-day diving trip with 31 tourists and 14 crew, according to the governor of Red Sea province.
Maj-Gen Amr Hanafi said the survivors were found in the Wadi el-Gemal area, south of Marsa Alam, and that they were receiving the necessary medical care.
He added that the Egyptian Navy warship El Fateh and military aircraft were intensifying their efforts to locate the missing.
