The search operation for seven people still missing from a dive boat that capsized and sank off Egypt's east coast entered a third day on Wednesday, the governor of the Red Sea province said. The governor's office said the search operation was continuing for seven people still missing after the "Sea Story" was struck by a wave and capsized in the middle of the night on Monday.

The governor of the Red Sea region, Amr Hanafy, said rescuers saved 28 people from the vessel south of the coastal town of Marsa Alam, and some were airlifted to receive medical treatment.
