Lost hiker survived 13 days on muesli bars and berries

In a remarkable story of survival, a hiker named Hadi Nazari was found alive after being missing for nearly two weeks in New South Wales, Australia. Hadi, a 23-year-old medical student, went missing on Boxing Day while hiking with friends in Kosciuszko National Park. He had wandered off to take photographs and did not return, prompting a massive search effort involving hundreds of people, including his friends and family. On Wednesday afternoon, around 3:15 PM local time, Hadi was discovered by other hikers who heard him calling out for help. He informed them that he had been lost in the bush and was feeling very thirsty. The hikers quickly contacted emergency services, and a helicopter was dispatched to rescue him. Hadi was airlifted to the search command post, where paramedics assessed his condition. Fortunately, he was found to be in good health, alert, and able to communicate. He had no significant injuries, which was a relief to everyone involved in the search. During his time in the wilderness, Hadi survived on just two muesli bars that he had found in a mountain hut and managed to drink water from nearby creeks. He also foraged for berries to supplement his diet. His family, who were anxiously waiting at the search base camp, were overjoyed to see him safe and sound. They expressed their happiness to the media, stating, 'It is the happiest day of our lives. ' Hadi was located near Blue Lake, approximately 10 kilometers away from the campground where he was supposed to meet his friends on December 26. Police officials noted that Hadi had covered a significant distance during his time lost in the wilderness. They mentioned that they would follow up with him once he was discharged from the hospital to ensure he was okay and to gather more details about his experience.
