6 students drown, 24 injured in Alexandria beach accident

On Saturday, six students were pronounced dead at Abu Talat Beach in Alexandria's Agami district, with 21 taken to hospital and three treated on the beach.
Red warning flags flew due to dangerous wave conditions and strong currents, prompting emergency services to rush to Abu Talat Beach after swimmers struggled in the water.
A massive rescue effort sent 16 ambulances to the beach as the students were on a field trip organised by an academy specialising in air hospitality.
Local officials closed the beach and opened an investigation into safety measures, intensifying scrutiny of tourism safety in Egypt, a country heavily reliant on tourism.
Egypt's Health Ministry urged the public to follow beach safety guidance, confirming emergency medical support for injured students and support for their families is ongoing.
