They say there is no help in the death zone but sometimes there is:
Lukas Wörle from Austria gets high civilian award from Pakistan for his life-saving actions on Broad Peak in 2023.
Murtaza Sadpara (Pakistan), who worked as a high altitude porter, fell ill with high altitude sickness at 8000m. When Wörle discovered him (alone), Sadpara was conscious but couldn't tell him his name. Wörle shoved, pulled, and rappelled him down. Halfway down on the way to camp 3 he came across Dan Buonome (USA) and another porter, they provided medication and oxygen [Was not able to find the name of this porter].
Wörle and Buonome brought Sadpara down to Camp 3. Sadpara survived and lost several fingers to severe frostbite. He had not been able to afford oxygen or high-quality gloves. He says his clients lost sight of him while others accuse them of leaving him behind.
