Dozens of Israeli tourists are stranded in the village of Samagaun, located at an altitude of approximately 3,500 meters in the Nepalese Himalayas. Extreme weather and rockfalls have blocked the routes out of the area, according to Kan news. The tourists reported ongoing collapses, describing hearing "monstrous rumbling every few hours, as if the whole earth is collapsing." They expressed fear of staying in the village another night.
Nepalese meteorologists had previously advised suspending treks in the Himalayas and urged tourists in the mountains to descend to safer areas due to heavy rains, snowfall, and the threat of floods and landslides. Samagaun has recently experienced snow and a sharp deterioration in weather conditions.
In India and Nepal, at least 19 people have died in recent days due to weather-related floods and landslides, Reuters reported. Fifteen deaths occurred in India's Uttar Pradesh state, and four in Nepal. Additionally, ten people are missing after an avalanche in the Himlung Himal region.
