Pakistan Many dead as heavy snow traps drivers in their vehicles
At least 21 people have died during a blizzard in the town of Murree, the interior minister says.

Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid said the crisis had been caused by the number of people travelling to the area, north of the capital Islamabad. More than 100,000 cars had arrived in the colonial-era town in recent days, with social media in Pakistan flooded with pictures of people enjoying the snow.
