As of now, 16 individuals have been rescued, and search efforts continue for the remaining passengers. The Red Sea Governorate confirmed that some survivors were airlifted for medical care, while others were secured at the site until a naval frigate could transport them to safety.
The distress signal was received early in the morning, prompting immediate rescue operations involving naval and armed forces. The boat had departed from Porto Ghalib Port and was scheduled to return to Hurghada Marina.
