At least 22 people including 10 children have died after a heavy snow storm left 100s of cars stranded in a mountain resort town in Pakistan.

Eight of the fatalities were from the family of Islamabad police officer Naveed Iqbal, who died alongside his wife and six children.

Police said most people had frozen to death in their cars but that others may have died from asphyxiation after turning on their vehicle's heaters to keep warm after getting stuck on the road.

More than four feet of snow fell in the hillside town overnight on Friday, trapping tourists and blocking all incoming traffic to Murree, around 70km northeast of the capital Islamabad, the next day.

Soldiers, including a special military mountain unit, were called in to assist rescue efforts and had freed thousands of vehicles by Saturday morning, though thousands more were still stuck in the area.


Umar Maqbool, a local administrator, said the heavy snowfall hampered rescue efforts during the night and even heavy equipment brought in to clear the snow got stuck initially.

'Until the military arrived, no vehicle or even people on foot are allowed to enter Murree except for the emergency and rescue vehicles and those bringing food for the stuck people,' interior minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said.

Murree, a resort town around 70km northeast of the capital Islamabad, attracts more than a million tourists annually though streets leading into the city are often blocked by snow in winter.

Yes, Pakistan tourism revenue hit $948million in 2019 according to macrotrends.net Pakistan tourism statistics.


Pakistan has very beautiful landscape/mountain/alps with little resemblance of Alaska/canada rockies with many mountain lodges and resorts.

Pakistan has glaciers.

Asphyxiation seems improbable since they can always wind down the car glass momentarily for some quick fresh air, that is if the vehicle itself does not have automatic climate control/recirculation.

They don't need fresh air, they're freezing, they need heat.

Lack of fresh air causes asphyxiation, actually. It is possible to wind the glass down momentarily for some fresh air while the car heater is still on, so they will neither freeze nor suffer asphyxiation.

Meanwhile some idiots will be praying for snow to fall in Nigeria. I tell you if heavy snow fall in Nigeria, the number of people that will die from the excessive cold will be astronomical.
