An Austrian woman has died after a shark attacked her while swimming by the Red Sea coast in Egypt.
No one could help the woman. Instead, people filmed as tourists could be heard complaining about a lack of lifeguards or rescuers.
One said: “People are rushing out of the sea. There’s no ambulance, there’s no one helping her. She’s got no arm – up to her elbow.
“The shark grabbed her and twisted her around.”
Blood is also seen in the water as the woman struggles.
The woman was left to fight off the shark on her own. She made it to the shore alive but later died in an ambulance from “shock”.
Egyptian outlets and RIA Novosti, a Russian news agency, reported that the woman had died.
In the wake of the Friday attack, swimming, diving, snorkelling and fishing from the Sahl Hasheesh area to Makadi Bay were prohibited for three days, said local reports.
