Two Britons have been missing for almost a week in the Dolomites in northern Italy, writes A2 CNN.
According to foreign media, Aziz Ziriat, 36, and Samuel Harris, 35, from London were walking when they were last heard from in the early afternoon of January 1.
The two men were due to return to the UK yesterday but missed the return Lufthansa flight, writes A2 CNN.
The search and rescue operation has been started, but the search has been suspended until the morning due to the night and unfavorable weather conditions.
Italian authorities said on the day they were last heard from, Ziriat and Harris were believed to have been at the Malga Dosson bivouac in Val San Valentino, at the base of the south face of Mount Carè Alto.
Rescuers said a helicopter took off to try to conduct an aerial survey, but fog and poor visibility forced it to turn back before reaching the area where the men are believed to have disappeared.
Ground crews and fire service drones were also unable to carry out their activities due to bad weather and the risk of an avalanche.
Meanwhile, in the following hours, additional information is expected to emerge about the location or what happened to the 2 citizens in question, writes A2 CNN. (A2 Televizion)
