FIVE more people were rescued and four bodies were recovered from the tourist yacht wreck in the Red Sea today as search efforts continued.

Seven people remained missing as 33 total survivors have been found a day after Sea Story, a live-aboard used for maritime activities, sent a distress signal near the Egyptian town of Marsa Alam on Monday.

A large wave crashed into the boat, causing it to capsize, according to officials.
