A young man from Qurna drowned in the Nile River in Luxor
According to eyewitnesses, the young man suddenly disappeared under the water while recovering with his friends, as it is likely that he was subjected to a sudden drowning.
Immediately, the river rescue teams moved to the accident site, and the search and combing work began in the vicinity of the area below the bridge.
This incident comes a few hours after the announcement of the body of another drowned young man in the Al -Hubail area east of the governorate, which highlights the frequent drowning accidents, especially in the summer and with the increasing demand for the Nile water.
The security services and the competent teams continue their efforts to search for the body of the missing young man, amid a state of sadness and anxiety between his family and the people of the region.
Repeated warnings and the need to educate young people about the dangers of swimming in the Nile
These tragic incidents are renewed calls to intensify awareness campaigns about the dangers of swimming in the areas that are not designated for that, and the need to take care and caution, especially with the high temperatures and the resort of many young people to the Nile as a means of entertainment.
