TABUK: The Civil Defense came to the rescue of a couple and their three children who had lost there Wednesday in the desert region of Al-Mu'dham, 150 km from Tabuk. The vehicle the family was traveling broke down in an off-road area and search parties involving helicopters were sent out to find their location. “We received a report from a relative of the family after they had failed to return home when expected,” said Solaiman Al-Huwaiti, head of the Civil Defense in Tabuk. “An extensive area was combed by both land and air for nearly 24 hours until the family was located and transferred to hospital for health checks.”
