Local rescue teams in Ras El Bar, Egypt, managed to save 77 people from drowning after the high tide that hit the Mediterranean beaches, and were also able to return 115 lost children to their families safely.
Ras El Bar City Mayor Walid El Shahawy explained that the heavy crowding on the beaches was due to escaping the intense heat wave, as many sought to get some refreshment despite the difficult weather conditions and high waves.
El Shahawy added that the local unit has enhanced its preparations by increasing the presence of rescue teams, ambulance points, and facilities designated for collecting lost children, in addition to surveillance towers and cleaning teams along the beach.
He also pointed out that the local unit warned vacationers against going to the beach in light of repeated warnings of high waves and water withdrawals, stressing the continuation of work around the clock to ensure the safety of all visitors and improve the services provided to the coastal city’s visitors.
Ras El Bar, Egypt, witnessed an unprecedented rise in water levels, which led to a significant rise in the water level on the beach, causing large areas of sand to be submerged and water to reach the area of cafes facing the beach and some of the houses near it to be submerged. Ras El Bar is part of Damietta Governorate, and forms a semi-triangle of land, its eastern side overlooking the Nile River, its western side overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, and it’s based on the navigation channel of Damietta Port, and at its top the salty waters of the Mediterranean meet the fresh waters of the Nile River.
