The research teams and the people in the Egyptian governorate of Aswan found the bodies of 5 young men, who died while they were excavated from gold in an illegal way in the Al -Alaqi mountain area, after they lost the way back, which led to their death due to the harsh conditions in the desert.
The security services in Aswan received a notification of the incident, where investigations confirmed that the five youth had set out to the Al -Alaqi area with the aim of exploration of gold, but they lost the way back after the exploration work, and with the high temperatures and water shortages, they breathed their last in the same site.
The people got to know the bodies of the deceased, who are: Muhammad Jamal Muhammad Ahmed, Muhammad Sayed Hassan Muhammad, Abdullah Khalaf Nemat Allah Hassan, Abu Al -Hassan Mahmoud, and Mamdouh Amin Abdul Rahim, where three of them descended from Aswan Governorate, while the other two belong to Sohag Governorate.
The bodies were transferred to Aswan’s public morgue at the disposal of the Public Prosecution, which began their investigations into the incident to take the necessary legal measures.
It is noteworthy that the death incidents between gold prospectors in the Egyptian desert areas, especially in the mountains of Al -Alaqi, are repeated due to difficult conditions and natural dangers, which has repeatedly prompted the Egyptian authorities to warn of the dangers of these illegal practices.
