Israeli man reported missing while trekking Greece's Mt. Olympus

Yogev set out on Sunday for a hike in the Mount Olympus region, his family told the press, adding that they lost contact with him shortly after that.

Israeli citizen Ami Yogev, 46, went missing while hiking in Greece's Mount Olympus region, according to his family. On Tuesday evening, they lost contact with him after a hike that began on Sunday, KAN News reported, citing family statements. The last communication was a photo from his second trail stop to his mother. The Israeli Consul in Athens and the Foreign Ministry Department for Israelis Abroad are assisting Greek authorities in the search, the ministry announced.

Yogev's family is in "extreme anxiety," according to a Facebook post by the family, and they cannot afford private rescue services. Local tour guide Sivan Zamir, who manages a Facebook group for Israelis traveling in northern Greece, plans to join the search effort. She is coordinating with mountain rescue teams and emergency units and urges travelers to report any sightings of a matching individual on the trails.
