Friends of two missing hikers in the Dolomites are anxiously waiting as helicopters search the area for any sign of them
Tione Di Trento: So, there’s this really worrying situation going on in the Dolomites. Two guys from London, Aziz Ziriat and Sam Harris, have gone missing while hiking. Their friends are just on edge, waiting for any news. Helicopters are buzzing around, searching the mountains, and everyone knows these next few hours are super important.
Last they were seen, they were near a mountain hut called Casina Dosson. It’s close to Lake Garda, which is a beautiful spot. Joe Stone, a friend of Aziz, mentioned that they’re experienced hikers. They love to disconnect and go off the grid, but it’s strange they didn’t check in for their flight home on January 6. That’s when the alarm bells started ringing.
Joe said they usually hike a couple of times a year, so it’s not unusual for them to be out of touch. But when they missed their flight, everyone got really worried. Right now, helicopters are focusing on two specific refuge huts, hoping to find them there. It’s their best shot.
Aziz’s girlfriend and some friends are in Italy, working with local authorities to help coordinate the search. Joe mentioned that the public response has been amazing. People from all over are stepping up to help, both in Italy and back in the UK. Even Crystal Palace Football Club is getting involved, asking fans to share any info that could help find the guys.
They’re urging anyone who knows the area or has any leads to reach out. It’s a tough time, and everyone is just hoping for some good news soon.
