Four bodies were recovered on Tuesday from a tourist boat which capsized off Egypt’s Red Sea coast, and rescue teams were still searching for nine missing people, the Red Sea Governorate said in a statement.

Egyptian naval forces have rescued three more people and recovered four bodies, a day after a tourist yacht carrying 44 passengers sank in the Red Sea coastal town of Marsa Alam after facing rough weather.

Authorities in Egypt say a luxury yacht that set off with 44 people from the Red Sea port of Ghalib for a week-long diving trip sank, with 32 rescued and 8 still missing.
