Nearly 20 people - including police officers, militia members, and residents familiar with the area, using GPS devices - were mobilized to coordinate with the national park’s ranger station to search for the missing Germans, Moritz Wolfram and Kathrin Sophie .
After searching throughout the night, the rescuers found the two tourists about 3 km from a rest stop, at an elevation of 2,200 metres on the hiking trail to Fansipan peak.
The Community People’s Committee coordinated with local police, forest rangers, and other relevant forces to provide essential supplies and support, safely escorting the tourists out of the hazardous area.
