A group of holidaymakers have launched legal action after suffering severe gastric illness during a five star Egyptian holiday - which left one of them on a drip. Around 15 visitors who travelled to Jaz Aquamarine Hotel between February and July this year were affected by nasty gastric symptoms, including diarrhoea, vomiting and lethargy - some of which are still affecting them today.
Every single one also booked through tour operator TUI UK Ltd. One holidaymaker from Cardiff was diagnosed with a bacterial infection by the hotel doctor, while a Hampshire lorry driver was put on a drip during his stay in the Hurghada based hotel.
The tourists have now all gone to specialist serious injury lawyers at Irwin Mitchell law firm to investigate. One of the victims struck down by illness was Yasmeen McGrath, 28, who travelled to the Jaz Aquamarine Hotel on February 2 with her husband Adam, 38, and their two daughters, Leila, four, and one-year-old Amelia.
