Backpacker Found Alive After Nearly 2 Weeks Missing in Australian Outback
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Carolina Wilga, a German backpacker, was found alive after spending 12 days missing in the remote outback of Western Australia, according to local authorities. Wilga, 26, vanished on June 29 after her van became bogged down in the Karroun Hill Nature Reserve, a hostile and sparsely populated region north of the small town of Beacon. Why It Matters Wilga's rescue highlights the deadly risk and intense difficulty of surviving in Australia's vast, isolated bushland, where even experienced travelers are challenged by harsh natural conditions and limited contact with civilization. Her survival after being lost for almost two weeks—enduring freezing nights, rain, and a complete lack of communication—has been described as "remarkable" by police and has captivated international attention. The incident serves as a stark warning to visitors about the perils of venturing into remote Australian regions without proper preparation or safety equipment. What To Know Wilga was last seen on June 29 at a general store in Beacon, a rural town northeast of Perth. She was driving her van in the Karroun Hill Nature Reserve, described by police as a "serious piece of bush." However, the van became stuck around 22 miles from Beacon after which Wilga attempted to free it using recovery boards and wood. Western Australia Police Force Detective Jessica Securo said during a press conference on Saturday that the backpacker stayed in the van the first night before heading out on foot to seek help. Wilga told investigators that she looked at the sun and tried to travel west based on its location, according to Securo. "We never gave up hope that Carolina would be found safe and well, and this is truly the best outcome and best result we could wish for," Securo said. Wilga was ultimately discovered by a woman who was driving near the bush track. After being rescued, Wilga was airlifted to a hospital in Perth for further treatment, Securo said. The region where Wilga went missing is known for freezing nighttime temperatures, mixed difficult terrain, and total isolation. Police, supported by local residents and aerial search teams, launched an intensive search after finding her abandoned van. Weather during the ordeal included sub-zero nights and heavy rain, which complicated search operations. Wilga had some supplies in her van but no way to communicate, and police expressed concern about her exposure to the elements and the region's natural hazards, ABC News reported. During her nearly two-week trek, Wilga thought she might not survive, Securo told reporters. The woman who found the 26-year-old was also "quite overwhelmed" by the whole ordeal, according to Securo. Wilga has been traveling Australia for the past two years, The Guardian reported. "Carolina has told me that she loves Australia. She still has so much travel to do here," Securo said. "She hasn't made it over to the East Coast yet, so that's still on the bucket list." Australian outback Woodlands dirt road, Gascoyne, Western Australia - Jul 28, 2017.

Paul Mayall/AP Images What People Are Saying Inspector Martin Glynn, Western Australia Police, said during a press conference: "As you can imagine, from the trauma she suffered for the last few days, she's been obviously through a great deal. She does have some injuries. She's been ravaged by mosquitoes. She's obviously been through an amazing journey, a trauma, no doubt – a testimony to demonstrating her bravery in those a very hostile environment out there, both from flora and fauna...a really, really challenging environment." Acting Detective Inspector Jessica Securo, Western Australia Police, said during a press conference: "It's sheer luck. The area out there, there's mixed terrain. It can be quite dangerous if you don't know what you're doing or where you are going. It's very easy to get lost in that area. She's essentially out in the wilderness for about 11 nights, which is significant, and just brings us back to how lucky she was that she was located safe and well, and how thankful we are that we managed to find her." What Happens Next? Wilga is still being treated at a hospital in Perth following the ordeal. "I don't expect her to come out of hospital today, so she still needs some emotional support around her, and she still needs some injuries tended to so once the hospital determines that she's ready, we will work closely with them and just facilitate next steps," Securo said.

Family of American Beaten to Death in West Bank Demands Investigation
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The U.S. State Department confirmed in a statement to Reuters that it's aware of the death of an American citizen, Sayafollah Musallet, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, after he was reportedly beaten to death by Israeli settlers in the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah. "This is an unimaginable nightmare and injustice that no family should ever have to face. We demand the U.S. State Department lead an immediate investigation and hold the Israeli settlers who killed Saif accountable for their crimes," Musallet's family said in a statement. Newsweek has reached out to the U.S. State Department by submission form outside of normal business hours on Saturday morning for comment. Why It Matters Violence in the West Bank has surged following the Palestinian militant group Hamas' deadly attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. The roughly 2,200-square mile territory includes the disputed holy city of Jerusalem and has long been a flashpoint for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. An intensification of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) incursions, Palestinian militant activity and violence perpetrated by Israeli settlers seeking to expand territorial holdings considered illegal under international—and sometimes Israeli law —threatens to push the tense situation beyond the brink. President Donald Trump rescinded sanctions on Israeli settler groups that had been imposed under former President Joe Biden but calls for renewed accountability have come from various lawmakers and advocacy organizations in response to continued American deaths in the region. Musallet's death marks at least the seventh American fatality in the occupied territories since October 2023. Other cases include the shooting deaths of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, teenager Omar Mohammad Rabea, and activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi.

Jaafar Ashtiyeh/AFP via Getty Images What To Know The Palestinian Health Ministry reported that Musallet, a 20-year-old Palestinian-American from Florida, was beaten by settlers and left without medical assistance for several hours on Friday, as attackers reportedly blocked ambulances from reaching him. His brother managed to carry him to an ambulance, but Musallet died before arriving at a hospital, according to Reuters. The Israeli military said it is investigating the incident and confirmed that confrontations broke out after Palestinians reportedly threw rocks, with settlers said to be lightly injured. In the same incident, 23-year-old Hussein Al-Shalabi, was shot and killed, and he also did not receive timely medical help. A U.S. State Department spokesperson on Friday told Reuters that "out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones," the department would not comment further but confirmed it was aware of the incident. The Israeli military described the event as a "violent confrontation," stating that non-lethal weapons were used to disperse crowds. Musallet's family described him as "a brother and a son, just starting the prime of his life" and a "kind, hard-working, and deeply respected young man" in a statement to The Guardian. They said he had traveled to Palestine from Florida in June and was helping to defend his family's land. What Happens Next? The Israeli military said it's continuing to investigate the attack in Sinjil. The U.S. State Department stated it is prepared to provide consular services to Musallet's family but has not publicly committed to an independent investigation.
