Nepal avalanche claims lives of trekkers
October 16, 2014
At least 20 people have been killed and over 100 are missing after a blizzard and multiple avalanches struck in a region of Nepal's Himalayas. The Nepalese Army, working with local mountain guides, have been attempting to rescue stricken climbers and recover bodies using a helicopter, but the weather conditions have hampered rescue efforts. The unseasonably bad conditions were remnants of cyclone Hudhud, which struck India on Sunday.
