Entire villages swept away after glacial collapse triggers flood in mountainous region popular with trekkers and pilgrims
Nepal-Tibet flash flood – latest updates
What we know so far
Have you been affected by the flash floods?
Rescuers are searching for nearly 1,400 people, most of them tourists, who are missing after a catastrophic flash flood hit Nepal and Tibet, thundering down valleys, obliterating entire villages and killing at least 270 people.
Efforts to locate those missing – including hundreds of people from India, the US, UK, Australia and Canada – have been complicated by the destruction of dozens of bridges and almost 25 miles (40km) of roads in the mountainous region popular with trekkers and pilgrims.
