An avalanche in Iran has claimed the lives of five climbers, while four others have been injured.
The incident took place on the slopes of San Boran in Lorestan, about 300 km southwest of the capital Tehran. Rescuers braved treacherous conditions to recover the bodies of dead climbers, giving their families and loved ones a sense of closure.
The four survivors of this terrible ordeal have been rushed to a nearby hospital, where they are receiving medical attention.
Preliminary reports indicate that the nine-member mountaineering team had started their ascent on Thursday, despite warnings from local authorities about possible risks. Tragically, the group found themselves caught in an avalanche, which threw them off their path.
San Boran Peak, located on Iran’s Oshtorankuh mountain within the Zagros mountain range, is at an altitude of 4,150 meters and has experienced heavy rain and snowfall in recent weeks. These difficult weather conditions probably contributed to the teradainan bentakan longsor.
In a statement released by the Iranian Red Crescent, it was revealed that immediate measures were taken after the avalanche. Rescue workers tirelessly searched the affected area, successfully saving four people who were later taken to hospital.
However, search efforts were met with a heartbreaking discovery as the bodies of two climbers missing on the day of the incident were found. The relentless determination of Red Crescent rescuers led to the recovery of three more bodies a short time ago.
Although avalanches are relatively rare in Iran, this tragic incident serves as a reminder of the dangers inherent in mountaineering and the importance of following safety guidelines.
In a similar incident that happened in 2020, 12 people lost their lives on Christmas Day due to an avalanche. The devastating impact of these natural disasters highlights the need to increase awareness and improve safety measures to prevent such tragedies in the future.
