Search for missing Israeli backpacker in Kyrgyzstan enters third day
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn Israeli delegation, backed up by a military helicopter, enters its third day of a search for 22-year-old Israeli backpacker Hila Livne, who has been missing in the mountainous central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan since Saturday.
Large numbers of local residents in the village of Arkit are participating in the search, according to media reports. Israeli officials spoke with the German military attache in the country to help coordinate the addition of the Kyrgyz military chopper.
A second Israeli backpacker who was with Hila shortly before she disappeared was hurt on the trail and was hospitalized.
Friends of Hila have opened a bank account for donations to fund the expensive search: Bank Hapoalim, branch 500, account 420211.
