Search teams aided by troops have pulled out 21 more bodies from homes destroyed by this week's avalanches in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The fatalities raise the overall death toll due to severe weather to 160 for both Pakistan and Afghanistan.
An ambulance heading to an area hit by avalanches, waits for a blocked road to be opened, in Keran, a small town in Neelum Valley, Pakistan-administered Kashmir, Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2020. Severe winter weather has claimed more lives as avalanches triggered by heavy snowfall killed more than 50 people in Pakistan-administered Kashmir while a dozen died in neighboring Afghanistan, officials said Tuesday.
Rescuers were racing against time to reach scores of people believed still to be trapped inside their homes, buried under avalanches triggered by heavy snowfall in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. With many roads still blocked by snow, authorities were using helicopters to evacuate those injured. Avalanches are common in Kashmir, which is divided between Pakistan and India and claimed by both in its entirety.
