Four bodies have been found after a yacht capsized in the Red Sea.

Two British tourists were thought to be among 16 people missing after the sinking of the diving vessel, called the Sea Story, on Monday.

Major General Amr Hanafi, the governor of the Red Sea area, said naval forces had rescued four people alive – two Belgian nationals, one Swiss and one Egyptian.

In addition, four bodies have been recovered, though their identities have yet to be confirmed.
