Rescue teams waded through mud searching for more than 1,400 people missing after flash floods and landslides struck the Nepal-Tibet border, with entire villages swept away. Experts warned of the risk of further floods, a day after the devastating tsunami-like wall of freezing water and mud wiped out towns under a torrent of sludge, engulfing homes, smashing bridges and dams, and sweeping vehicles away like toys.
The US Geological Survey says the disaster was caused by "a glacial collapse and debris flow" that "caused subsequent catastrophic impacts downstream".
Emergency teams were racing to pluck survivors from affected zones, while Nepali soldiers used sniffer dogs to search for bodies buried under the suffocating dirt. Nepal's disaster agency said 910 people are still unaccounted for, including at least 517 foreigners. Its tourism board put the number of missing tourists, both Nepali and foreign, at 667 in total. Meanwhile Chinese authorities have said the disaster caused "major casualties" and reported another 558 missing, 260 of whom are foreigners, with many pilgrims and trekkers amongst those missing.
