European tourists wanted to save holidaymakers in Bali – now they are both missing. Germany supplies Marder tanks and the Patriot system to Ukraine

Emergency services on the Indonesian holiday island of Bali are looking for two tourists from Germany and Austria who have disappeared into the sea. The men were swept away by the current in high waves at Diamond Beach in Nusa Penida on Tuesday when they tried to rescue another holidaymaker in distress, the head of local rescue services, Chakra Negara, told the German news agency on Friday. While he survived, there was no trace of the other two tourists.

“We’re still looking for them,” Negara said. “But it’s raining, there’s a strong wind and the waves are high.” It is currently the rainy season in Bali. Further details about the disappearance were not known.

The small neighboring island of Nusa Penida, which belongs to the province of Bali, is popular with diving enthusiasts from all over the world. Just on Sunday, a tourist from Malaysia died in the same region while trying to save another person from drowning.

Not an isolated case

Similar tragedies have occurred in Australia and the Cook Islands in recent days. On the paradise island in the South Pacific, a New Zealander died on Tuesday while trying to rescue her distressed daughter from the sea. Also on Tuesday, a man was killed in Australia while trying to help his daughter who was caught in a current. And on Sunday, a police officer south of Sydney died trying to save his son from drowning. In all cases, the children survived. (sda/dpa)
