==Events==
On 14 October 2014 a snowstorm and series of avalanches occurred on and around Annapurna and Dhaulagiri in the Manang and Mustang Districts of Nepal within the Himalaya range.〔 According to an unnamed expert the storm arose from Cyclone Hudhud and was the worst in a decade with almost of snow falling within 12 hours. Electric power, cell phone service, and internet connections failed in the Manang District, hampering relief efforts. Trekkers in the area at the time of the storm consisted of citizens from several countries including 78 from New Zealand.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kiwis trek to safety after deadly Nepal avalanches )〕 One of the first calls for international assistance was raised by the Israeli embassy in Kathmandu after trapped tourists sent a hand-written note from the top of the pass with a local guide who descended the mountain.〔 Twenty one trekkers and guides from Nepal, Slovakia and Germany were rescued on 15 October after the avalanche the previous day.〔 When search and rescue operations ceased on 19 October, up to 400 people had been rescued from various areas including Thorong La, the Manang and Mustang areas and the Tukuche basecamp of Mustang.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=7 rescued from Tukuche base camp )〕
