Egyptian authorities say 16 people are missing, including foreigners, and 28 have been rescued after a tourist boat sank in the Red Sea.

Two of those missing are British, the BBC understands. Finland has confirmed one of their nationals is unaccounted for, while authorities say four Egyptians are also missing.

The boat with 44 people on board - including 13 crew - sent a distress signal at 05:30 (03:30 GMT), according to the governor of Red Sea province.

Authorities have not indicated the possible cause of the incident, but added accounts of people onboard mentioned a wave hit the boat and caused it to capsize. Weather forecasters had warned against marine activities for Sunday and Monday. . .

Nope I'm in Luxor ATM . Very dirty city and filled with gay Arabs and chinese tourists 🤦. Heading to Cairo soon where it's just a discusting city, so a step up 👍. Egypt is a horrible mess but its desert truly is beautiful. Thank you for thinking of me.
