Shark attack in the Red Sea: How dangerous are sharks?

Shark attacks are very rare, but there have been two recent fatalities in Egypt. Last Friday 1 July 2022 a female holidaymaker from Austria died after being attacked by a shark. The 68-year-old woman, who had been in Egypt for several weeks, was attacked by a shark in the Red Sea near Hurghada. Due to her severe injuries, she died of circulatory failure while still being transported to the hospital. Now it has become known that a second holidaymaker has also died after being attacked by a shark. The Romanian woman was probably attacked by the same shark. This incident is also believed to have happened last Friday.
