About a thousand tourists are trapped on Everest due to the blizzard.
About a thousand people are stranded on the eastern slope of Everest in Tibet. This is reported by the Chinese newspaper "Sanyan Dushibao."
According to the agency, tourists became trapped due to the heaviest snowfall in recent years. The blizzard began on Saturday, after which visibility sharply decreased to one meter.
It is reported that in some sections of the route, the snowfall was so heavy that it completely buried the tents. Due to the deep snow, ongoing precipitation, and poor visibility, tourists are unable to descend on their own. In addition, the harsh conditions hinder the rescue operation.
