\u201cremains no news of seven other Italian nationals\u201d who have been reported missing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn recent days, several areas of the Nepalese Himalayas have been affected by a series of avalanches that have struck numerous mountaineers, including Italian citizens,\u201d the ministry said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCommunication between local authorities, rescue teams, and the diplomatic missions of the countries involved continues to be extremely challenging,\u201d the ministry added.<\/p>\n<p>Nepal\u2019s Department of Tourism director, Himal Gautam, said there was no immediate information about the fate of the seven people reported missing.<\/p>\n<p>Nepal\u2019s Himalayan Times newspaper reported on Wednesday that the bodies of an Italian and a French climber were recovered from the site of the avalanche that struck a group of 12 people at their base camp on Mount Yalung Ri on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>The seven people killed at the camp included three Italians, two Nepalis, a German and a French climber and, according to the newspaper, five others were rescued, including three Nepalis and two French nationals.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\"

many trekkers and tourists stranded on popular Himalayan trekking routes.<\/p>\n<p>Nepalese authorities have issued alerts to trekkers and climbers in the country, which is home to eight of the world\u2019s 10 highest peaks, including Mount Everest, and which are visited by many foreign and local trekkers and climbers each year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async
