An AFM search for a Chinese woman who was dragged out to sea by a big wave in Dwejra Gozo this afternoon had to be called off because of the sea conditions, the police said.

They said the police and members of the Civil Protection Department are continuing with their search on land.

The woman, 27, fell into the sea at about 2pm. A woman who was with her is being treated for shock at Gozo hospital after witnessing the incident.

A Hungarian man, 37, was also dragged into the sea in the same spot, but he was rescued. 

The search is being conducted by the police, the AFM and the Civil Protection Department.
