JAKARTA - The Chinese government managed to evacuate 580 climbers from the eastern slopes of Mount Everest after a snowstorm hit the Tibetan and Qinghai areas last weekend.
According to a report by the Xinhua News Agency, Wednesday, October 8, climbers and more than 300 supporting personnel -- including local guides and herders -- have arrived safely in Qudeng City and surrounding areas.
Earlier, on Sunday, October 5, local media reported at least one climber was killed and nearly 1,000 people were caught in a sudden blizzard.
The disaster caused road access to be closed and a number of climber tents collapsed.
Heavy snowfall that occurred in the Dingri area on Saturday night made it difficult for many climbers to go down the mountain.
The Dingri Regency Government then deployed an emergency team to restore communication and carry out rescue operations in the affected area.
