A child in the water who was attacked and eaten by a shark in front of dozens of tourists.

The consulate also urged citizens to follow the instructions of local authorities, abide by the bathing bans and be mindful whenever you enter the water. In fact, according to the news of both Russian and Egyptian media, it was forbidden to swim in the area where the attack took place.
Those moments were captured on camera by some tourists and shared on social media.

Some people on a nearby boat tried to save the boy: “He realized that the shark was about to bite him – they told the local media – he screamed for help, then was swallowed”.

Egypt’s environment ministry said a team of experts caught the shark that attacked the man for investigation. This is not the first deadly attack near the beach in Hurghada: authorities were forced to close a coastline overlooking the Red Sea last year after an Austrian tourist was killed by a shark bite not far from the coast.
