Egyptian officials say 16 people are missing after a tourist yacht sank in high waves on the Red Sea

Associated Press  

CAIRO — A tourist yacht sank in the Red Sea on Monday after warnings of rough waters and 16 people were missing, Egyptian officials said. The governor of the Red Sea region, Amr Hanafy, said rescuers saved 28 people from the vessel south of the coastal town of Marsa Alam, and some were airlifted to receive medical treatment. Hanafy visited the site where the vessel sank, according to a Red Sea Governorate update on Facebook. But the Egyptian Meteorological Authority on Saturday warned about turbulence and high waves on the Red Sea and advised against maritime activity for Sunday and Monday.
