According to an official at Fujairah Civil Defense, the senior citizen suffered from severe fatigue at the highest mountain peak in the region during the afternoon of Tuesday.
Upon arrival, he received first aid and the necessary treatment, and his health condition stabilised.

He added that his father ran out of water, felt sick and called the rescue teams, the police and civil defence, who rescued him in a timely manner.
Al-Hafiti said that the search team was able to save his father by a rescue plane, which quickly transferred him to Dibba Al-Fujairah Hospital to receive appropriate treatment.
