25 Israeli hikers rescued from rural Georgia flooding

Some 100 backpackers, among them 25 Israelis, are rescued from the village of Omalo in the northeast of the Caucasus nation of Georgia.

Stormy weather led to flooding and road closures that trapped the hikers in the village.

The Israelis are evacuated by a rescue crew sent by Israeli insurance provider Harel, which coordinated with Georgian army units working in the area.
