A tourist off the coast of Tahiti was left severely injured following a rare shark attack in the region.
The woman was airlifted to a hospital in Tahiti and was reported to have lost both hands and a lot of blood, according to firefighter Jean-Jacques Riveta."Luckily for her, there were two nurses on the scene who could deliver first aid," he told AFP.
There are believed to be around 70 to 100 shark attacks annually worldwide, with about 5 to 15 of them being fatal, but there could be more bearing in mind that not all attacks are reported, especially in developing countries and in other regions where news of any shark attacks may be kept quiet for fear of bad publicity, the ISAF notes.
