A powerful snowstorm struck Mount Everest’s Tibetan slopes during China’s national holiday, trapping hundreds of hikers at more than 16,000 feet. Chinese state media reports that at least 350 hikers have been rescued, while another 200 remain stranded as crews clear the paths. The snowfall crushed tents and blocked routes, prompting a massive rescue effort involving hundreds of workers. The storm hit as millions traveled during the national holiday week, and rescue teams continue working in subfreezing conditions.
