A six-year-old girl, Saja El-Khawas, dies in hospital after being pulled from the sea in Shoreham-by-Sea alongside other family members. Reports say she dies on Friday, after earlier deaths of her father Hassan El-Khawas, 55, her mother Zeina Alayn, 37, and her 14-year-old sister Sara El-Khawas.
The family members’ deaths are confirmed after incidents reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, with the earlier fatalities confirmed on Tuesday. Outlets describe a sequence in which the three older family members are confirmed dead first, and Saja subsequently dies later in hospital. Coverage focuses on the timeline of deaths and the location, with limited additional detail beyond identifying the individuals involved.
While the outlets largely align on the names, ages, and dates, some wording differs in how the circumstances are framed—particularly whether the story is presented primarily as an incident in which all were pulled from the sea or as a later hospital death following earlier confirmed fatalities. Across reports, the consistent core facts are the same identities and the place and sequence of deaths.
