KATHMANDU: Fresh avalanches are disrupting efforts to recover dead bodies from a remote village in Nepal where more than 100 foreign trekkers and villagers are believed to be buried by a landslide set off by a devastating earthquake more than seven weeks ago.

Five soldiers were injured in fresh snow slides on Monday temporarily halting the operation for the victims, officials said on Tuesday.

Authorities have so far recovered 193 bodies, including 22 foreigners from Langtang village, which was swept away by a massive torrent of air, snow and rock triggered by the first of two deadly earthquakes to hit Nepal in April and May.
