A man, believed to be a drug addict, jumped into the sea with two children, a boy and a girl, estimated to be around five and six years old, near Do Darya at Sea View on Thursday evening. Eyewitnesses described the harrowing scene, saying the man first threw one child into the sea and then jumped in himself with the second child.

Despite the public’s efforts to rescue them, including throwing poles and calling out to nearby boats, the three individuals vanished beneath the waves. Authorities arrived at the scene, but the rescue operation was suspended due to darkness and will resume on Friday morning.

Eyewitness Ahmed Ali recounted the traumatic experience, stating that the children were seen holding hands at one point, and one of them even tried to escape but could not. “It felt as if humanity had ceased to exist,” he remarked.
