CANAZEI , July 4 — Rescuers warned today that hopes of finding survivors were diminishing after an avalanche set off by the collapse of an Italian glacier during a heatwave killed at least six people.

On Monday, rescuers armed with thermal drones searched for body heat from potential survivors trapped in ice, although hope was rapidly dwindling. Bodies dug out of the ice and rock were taken to the village of Canazei, where Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi visited rescue workers on Monday. Images of the avalanche filmed from a refuge close by show snow and rock hurtling down the mountain slopes.

"The current state of the glacier is something we'd expect to see in mid-August, not early July," he said. Pope Francis tweeted his prayers for the victims, saying tragedies provoked by climate change, such as this,"must push us to seek urgently new ways to respect people and nature".
