   Kathmandu: At least 22 climbers have died and 217 others   
   were missing near the base camp of Mt Everest where   
   hundreds of climbers, including many foreigners, are   
   stranded after an avalanche triggered by Nepal's massive   
   earthquake swept down the world's highest peak.   
      
   More than 60 climbers were injured and many foreign   
   adventurers, hikers and guides at the base camp were   
   feared missing when the avalanche swept down the Everest   
   and buried under snow a section of the mountaineering   
   camp yesterday.   
      
   While 17 people were killed at the base camp, five more   
   casualties were reported on Sunday from areas below the   
   base camp, home ministry officials said.   
      
   "Tents have been blown away," Gelu Sherpa, who was at the   
   camp when disaster struck, said, adding, "There is a lot   
   of confusion on the mountain and the toll will rise."
