British baby dies after contracting E coli on Egypt holiday

A British baby girl has died after she contracted E coli while on holiday in Egypt, lawyers have said.

One-year-old Ariella Mann became severely ill after she travelled to the five‑star Jaz Makadi Aquaviva in Hurghada, Egypt, with her parents in December 2025. She was admitted to hospital after arriving back in the UK, where doctors confirmed she had contracted haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) - a rare but serious kidney condition linked to E coli - that led to her death.
