  "account": "An avalanche swept through the Nepalese base camp of Himlung Himal peak on Sunday, claiming the lives of four individuals. A dozen climbers and support staff remain unaccounted for after the heavy snowfall on the 7,126m peak, which sits on Nepal's border with Tibet. The Nepalese climbing team, including foreigners, had ventured ahead of foreign climbers to set up camp and secure ropes. Forecasts had previously warned of heavy snowfall in the area. Rescuers struggled to reach the site due to poor weather, with helicopters initially failing to access the area. Despite the treacherous conditions, a rescue team arrived from Kathmandu, but the search proved extremely difficult and dangerous. Nepal’s mountain districts have been grappling with persistent rain and snow in recent days, making conditions hazardous for the popular climbing tourism industry. The latest tragedy follows the deaths of six climbers on Pakistan's Broad Peak earlier in the month, and comes as efforts continue to recover bodies on the Nepal-Tibet border, where over 6,000 people are still missing after a massive flood in August.",
