At least three Israelis were fatally injured in a car accident near Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt, Israeli media reported on Saturday.

According to preliminary reports, the three dead are parents Jumana and Naji Amer and their two-month-old daughter, both of whom live in Kfar Qasim.

Jumana and Naji spent last weekend in the Nuweibaa area with their toddler and two other children who were also injured in the accident and are still in Egypt.

“A serious disaster, I am at a loss for words,” MK Ahmad Tibi told Walla, who had already asked the Egyptian authorities on Saturday morning for assistance in transporting the bodies from the Egyptian hospital to Israel.

“This is a terrible tragedy; a family has been torn apart,” said Dr. Saleh Badir, the deceased mother’s brother.

“Of course we will do everything for the two rescued children,” said Badir. He also said the family was on their way to vacation by car this morning when the accident happened.

The family in Israel has not yet received any further details about the accident.

Another relative had already travelled to Egypt, the uncle reported. As far as he knew, the children who had survived the accident were already in Taba on the Egyptian side of the border and were waiting to cross.

“A serious car accident occurred in the early hours of today, killing three members of an Israeli family and injuring others,” the Foreign Ministry said. “(The family) was traveling in the area of ​​Nuweibaa, Egypt. The Israeli Embassy in Cairo and the Foreign Ministry’s Department for Israelis Abroad are handling the incident.
