Body Found in Search for Missing British Hikers

A body has been discovered in the search for two British hikers, Aziz Ziriat and Samuel Harris, who went missing in the Italian Dolomites on New Year's Day. The pair, both from London, were last heard from near Casina Dosson hut in the Trentino region and were due to return to the UK on January 6. Italian authorities, with support from rescue teams including Alpine Rescue and the local fire brigade, have been conducting a challenging search due to harsh weather conditions and heavy snowfall. Ziriat, a staff member at Crystal Palace's Palace for Life Foundation, and Harris have prompted appeals from friends and the football club for any information that could aid in their recovery. Despite the discovery of a body, confirmation of its identity has yet to be reported, adding to the distress of families and friends. The case has drawn significant public attention and support, with prominent figures like Mustafa Suleyman joining the effort to find the hikers.
