At least 95 people have been killed, and hundreds of tourists are missing, after a massive flash flood and mudslide on the Nepal-Tibet border
The missing tourists include more than 100 from India, 47 from the US, and 33 from the UK, according to Nepal’s tourist board. The area is popular with pilgrims and trekkers
CCTV from Tibet shows a wall of water and mud hitting buildings at a border crossing – other images from Nepal show people trying to flee as the flood surges
In Tibet, Chinese President Xi Jinping is offering personal directives – that usually means an incident is very serious, writes our correspondent in Beijing, Laura Bicker
Nepal’s foreign minister says the flood may have been caused by an earthquake triggering an avalanche
This is the most devastating disaster in Nepal since the 2015 earthquake which killed 9,000 people.
