Rescue workers in Italy are in a race against the clock to find 23 people still missing following a deadly avalanche five days ago (January 18).

A 120,000-tonne wall of snow and debris hit the Rigopiano Hotel hours after the Abruzzo region was rocked by multiple strong earthquakes.

Six people have been confirmed dead. Eleven are known to have survived the ordeal, four of them children.

All are said to be in a good condition.

Director of Pescara Hospital Paediatric Departmen, Giuliano Lombardi said a close eye would be kept on the children in particular.
