A TOURIST has died after she had her arm and leg ripped off by a shark in a horror attack in a tourist resort in Sharm El Sheikh. The 68-year-old woman was seen desperately swimming back to shore after the attack in front of terrified onlookers. Horrified onlookers spotted the woman trying to swim to the shore after the attack The woman later died in an ambulance from “shock” after the Red Sea horror. Videos were filmed by watching Russian tourists who bemoaned the lack of lifeguards or rescuers. The woman’s blood was seen in the water as she struggled – wearing a flipper – to make her way back to a pier. A large crowd watched the drama but no one was seen entering the water to help the woman. Other reports say tourists rushed out of the water when the woman was attacked and tried to “distract the shark from the victim”. The incident was at Sahl Hasheesh, a popular bay on the Red Sea coast of Egypt, close to Sharm El Sheikh. The victim was evidently married to an Egyptian man and lived with him in the country. Russian witnesses saw that she had lost an arm but did not mention a severed leg. One said: “People are rushing out of the sea. “There’s no ambulance, there’s no one helping her. “She’s got no arm – up to her elbow. “The shark grabbed her and twisted her around.” In one video watching Russians are heard saying: “Where are the rescuers? “F***, she’s covered in blood. “Holy ****. “The shark bit her arm off. Holy **** “Where’s the rescue team? “Where’s the shark? “For f****’s sake “Lifeguards? Where are the lifeguards? “She’s going to f***ing die!” In fact, the woman made it to the shore but died apparently from extreme shock caused by pain from the vicious attack. “Doctors fought for her life for a long time, giving her cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but she could not be saved,” said one account. Egyptian outlets and RIA Novosti, a Russian news agency, reported that the woman had died. In the wake of the Friday attack, swimming, diving, snorkelling and fishing from the Sahl Hasheesh area to Makadi Bay were prohibited for three days, according to local reports.
