Rescuers in central Italy have found 10 survivors after an avalanche buried a mountain hotel and six have been pulled out so far. The avalanche struck the Rigopiano hotel, in the Abruzzo region, on Wednesday after several earthquakes. At least four people died and about
20 are still missing.
Deep snow blocking the access road hampered the rescue. Wednesday's earthquakes included four stronger than magnitude 5, in a region already struggling with heavy snowfall that buried phone lines and took out power cables.
