Nearly 1,000 people are trapped in campsites on the eastern slopes of Mount Everest due to a severe snowstorm. Rescue efforts are underway, with villagers and teams working to clear snow blocking access. Some tourists have already been rescued, but others are suffering from hypothermia as tents collapse. The region is experiencing extreme weather, with Nepal also hit by heavy rains causing landslides and floods.
