50 Israelis Stuck in Snowstorm on Hungary-Austria border

Heavy snow at the border of Hungary and Austria has blocked the 90 kilometers long highway. Around 50 travelers from Israel are among those who are stuck between Budapest and Vienna.

This group of 50 had come for vacation in Hungary and is now in the bus without food and water, since Thursday afternoon. There are thousands of others who are snowbound at the border.

"We've been stuck for over 20 hours without water or anything. No one has managed to reach us", said Avital Tzadok, one of the bus passengers. Many of these Israelis have also missed their flights for Israel due to this heavy snowstorm.

The passengers of the bus are apprehensive about the fuel getting over and in that case there won't be any source of heat in the deadly chilled weather.

Tzadok complained that workers from international service team of ZAKA had contacted them and assured them to bring water, but that too in vain.

While responding to these complains and requests, the Foreign Ministry has said that some more time is required, since the road cleaning procedure is going on. In its statement, ministry has also said that the medical equipments are present there for helping the people in emergency.
