Rescue volunteers from United Hatzalah, Zaka and F.I.R.S.T. on Sunday afternoon announced that they have found the body of the remaining Israeli trekker Or Asraf in Nepal.  Asraf’s body was located mountainside along the Langtang Ridge. Due to severe weather conditions and dangerous mudslides, the delegation organized by IsraeLife faced a complicated mission to retrieve the body.

Eli Beer, founder of IsraeLife and president of United Hatzalah, said, “We are very sad that our mission has ended in this way. Every day, we searched for Or and held onto our hope that we would find him alive and bring him back to his family. Unfortunately, despite the tremendous effort, we found him not alive. We are consoled, however, that thanks to our delegation of volunteers, Or will come to rest in Israel. ”
