Burma's survivors 'facing crisis' ... are feared dead in an avalanche after scaling the world's second-highest mountain, K2, expedition organisers have said.

There are fears more of the climbers, who are of mixed nationalities, could have died in the accident in northern Pakistan, but others reached safety.
