After another day of searching, the death toll from an avalanche that hit a mountain road in Tibet in southwestern China worsens.

The dead have risen to 28, there are no further missing persons and the rescue operations have ended.

The tragedy occurred at the exit of a tunnel along a highway: people were trapped inside their vehicles.

The avalanche, according to local sources, was caused "by strong winds and rising temperatures".
