AN Evesham schoolgirl is this week fighting for her life after being caught in the full blast of terrorist bombs in Egypt.

Sixteen-year-old Hannah Lloyd was rushed back to Britain by air ambulance following the bombers' attack in the Egyptian resort of Sharm-el-Sheikh over the weekend.

She is said to have suffered from 70 per cent burns from the blast which devastated the popular tourist destination packed with some 9,000 Britons.

Her 14-year-old sister Georgina was still in hospital in Egypt with serious leg injuries, but was expected to be well enough to return home with their mother Heidi by the end of the week.

Heidi Lloyd was torn between the daughters after Hannah was immediately evacuated from the resort and then flown to the UK.

Mrs Lloyd, of Northwick Road, Evesham, and her two teenage daughters were holidaying in the Egyptian seaside resort when the attacks took place, just a day before they were due to fly home.

The blast is thought to be the work of Al-Qaeda and security officials believe that two pick-up trucks packed with explosives and possibly hidden under vegetables were used in the attack.

The death toll has reached 88 and could still rise, with the news that ten British nationals are still missing. Keri Davies of Fareham in Hampshire, has been named as the only British national to have been killed so far.

There were three explosions in all, one at the Ghazala Gardens Hotel which caught the Lloyds.

Another bomb detonated at a crowded coffee shop in an area known as the Old Market and one left in a car park rigged with a timer, designed to go off as people fled the hotel bomb.

Around 175 suspects have been rounded up for questioning but Police were still looking for information and links to the atrocity.

Intelligence experts added that they believed the timing of the bomb was no co-incidence, coming just two days after the latest attack on London.

The devastated grandmother of the Lloyd sisters blamed Tony Blair and the Iraq war for the atrocity.

Ann Mast, 65, from Malvern said: "I am really angry because to my mind this has happened because we went to war in Iraq. I am ashamed that the Prime Minister did this in my name."

Hannah and Georgina were this week described as "fun-loving and vivacious" by a teacher at Evesham High School where they are both are pupils.

Hannah had just completed her GCSEs and planned to stay on at school. The teacher said both girls were "happy and fun-loving". "They were delightful girls and it is awful to hear what they have gone though. It must have been awful, too, for their mother having to choose which daughter to stay with. She must have been torn up inside."
