Alexandria Submarine Commander Overlooked Beachgoers' Warnings

The article notes that the summer season in Alexandria saw an increase in drowning incidents due to rough sea conditions and beachgoers neglecting warnings, especially during the August heatwave and the heightening waves caused by climate change. The beaches, particularly the open beaches and areas where hundreds of people venture in without adhering to safety measures, recorded several drowning cases, resulting in the deaths of some swimmers, including young people and children, due to the high waves and failure to follow safety instructions. Authorities emphasized the importance of complying with rescue guidelines and raising red flags when waves are high, along with implementing safety procedures. However, negligence and violations by some visitors have led to continued drowning incidents despite efforts to prevent them and enforce safety rules. Recommendations highlight the importance of respecting flags and warnings to reduce casualties, and call on the Egyptian government to take strict measures to curb such accidents, especially as the sea waves remain high and some beachgoers continue to ignore safety instructions.
