Polish Teen Dies in Malta Sea Tragedy
A 13-year-old girl from Poland was watching the big, stormy waves with her family in Malta.
Suddenly, the waves were so strong that they swept her out to sea.
Her dad and brother were also pulled into the water, but they were able to climb back to safety.
Sadly, the girl did not make it back.
Divers found her body two days later.
It's a very sad accident that happened because the sea was very rough that day.

The incident occurred on Monday afternoon when the girl and her family were watching the stormy seas.
Her father and brother were also swept off the pavement but managed to climb to safety.
