It has been revealed that a second woman was killed when sharks attacked another swimmer at a popular Egyptian tourist beach. Per <a href="https://news.sky.com/story/part-of-egypts-red-sea-coast-closed-after-woman-killed-in-shark-attack-12644746" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sky News</a>, it was announced that a 68-year-old Austrian woman was swimming near the resort of Hurghada, Eygpt when she was attacked by a shark. According to an Egyptian health official, the woman lost a leg and an arm by the time at the scene and was taken to Nile Hospital where she could not be resuscitated. Now the Egyptian authorities have disclosed that a second woman was killed around the same time in the Red Sea around 650ft from the other fatal attack. According to eyewitnesses at the scene, her lifeless body was pulled out of the sea after being discovered on a reef. <img class="wp-image-1263160482 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2022/07/sharkeygpt3.jpg" alt="" width="1535" height="800" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Menigault Bernard / Alamy.]] The woman's identity and nationality have not been revealed yet but it was believed that she had been staying at the adult-only Premiere Le Reve five-star hotel. According to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10977887/Red-Sea-shark-attack-Second-woman-killed-650ft-away-Austrian-pensioner-68-died.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a>, the same unnamed tourist who filmed the aftermath of the horrific first attack shared a new video revealing the location of the second fatal incident. The tourist said: "This is a small lagoon where we saw [the shark] for the first time. And we didn’t realize it was a shark." "The attack I filmed [earlier] was here," he continued, pointing towards the pier, "and the body of the second woman was pulled out approximately here". Hundreds of tourists had seen the first attack on the Austrian woman who had been snorkeling and was wearing flippers when she was attacked in the water. She had been on vacation in Egypt since June 2 and was on the beach with her partner. Eyewitnesses have complained that there were no lifeguards when the Austrian tourist was attacked by the endangered mako shark. <img class="wp-image-1263160481 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2022/07/sharkeygpt2.jpg" alt="" width="1535" height="800" />[[imagecaption|| Hurghada, Egypt.

All sea activities have been prohibited, including diving, snorkeling, windsurfing, kite sailing, and fishing boats. The Ministry of Environment announced on June 3 that an expert group was investigating the attacks. <h6>Featured image credit: Zuma Press / Alamy</h6>
