Dozens of Israelis Stranded in Nepal Village After Avalanche
Dozens of Israeli tourists are trapped in the Nepalese mountain village of Samagaun due to extreme weather conditions and an avalanche that occurred overnight. The village is situated in the Himalayas at an altitude exceeding 3,500 meters.
According to Israelis currently in Samagaun, the village has lost electricity, and loud sounds resembling mountain collapses are heard every few hours. Israeli media reports indicate no casualties so far. However, the severe weather is preventing a full-scale evacuation of the tourists.
Rescue services are attempting to organize an operation, but access to the village remains difficult. The tourists reported that several days of heavy rain preceded the avalanche, potentially destabilizing the mountain slopes. Local services are continuing to assess the situation and explore options for safely evacuating people from the area.
