The Madinah Health Cluster launched an awareness campaign to educate visitors to the Prophet's Mosque about heat stress, coinciding with increasing temperatures in the region, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Saturday.

The campaign focused on avoiding direct sunlight during peak hours of 10 am to 4 pm, recognizing and preventing heat stress, identifying heatstroke symptoms, and seeking prompt medical attention.

On the first day of the campaign, the health cluster distributed 3,500 bags of ice, 10,300 water bottles, 4,850 umbrellas, and 3,297 medical kits to 12,000 visitors.

Proactively preparing for the summer heat, the Madinah Health Cluster equipped several city health facilities with 32 beds for treating heat stress and sunstroke cases.

An Australian student missing for two weeks near the country's tallest mountain was found on Wednesday, after surviving by foraging for berries, drinking water from a creek and finding two muesli bars left behind by other hikers, police said.

Hadi Nazari, a 23-year-old university student from Melbourne, went missing from his group of friends on December 26 in the Kosciuszko National Park.

Nazari was found on Wednesday afternoon by a group of hikers who alerted the authorities, police in the state of New South Wales said.

“This is the fourteenth day we've been looking for him and for him to come out and be in such good spirits and in such great condition, it’s incredible," NSW Police Inspector Josh Broadfoot said.

The student was in "really good spirits" with no significant injuries, he added.

More than 300 people had searched for Nazari across rugged bushland, police said. The national park is home to the 2,228 meter (7,310 foot) Mount Kosciuszko.
