A large crowd watched the drama unfold on Friday, July 1, but no one was seen entering the water to help the woman, who lived in Egypt with her native partner.

 

 

Instead, people filmed and Russian tourists could be heared complaining of a lack of life guards or rescuers.

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.”

Blood is also seen in the water as the woman struggles.

 

 

The woman was left to fight off the shark on her own. She made it to the shore alive but later died in an ambulance from “shock”.
