Five found alive day after yacht capsizes

Five survivors were rescued yesterday, while four bodies have been recovered.

It brought the total number of survivors from the four-deck Sea Story yacht to 33.

The vessel was carrying 44 people, including 31 passengers from countries including the UK, US, Germany, Poland and Spain, when it was struck by a large wave on Monday. There were also 13 crew aboard.

Those rescued were two Belgians, one person from Switzerland, a Finnish national and an Egyptian.

Distress

Amr Hanafi, the governor of the Red Sea, said a "high sea wave" hit the boat and caused it to capsize in "about five or seven minutes".

Some passengers were inside cabins which "is why they couldn't get out", he added.
