Seventeen dead and hundreds unaccounted for as flash flood hits Nepal-Tibet border

At least 17 people have been killed and nearly 400 others are unaccounted for after a flash flood and mudslide along the Nepal-Tibet border washed away villages and damaged roads and infrastructure.

Search operations are under way on both sides of the border between Tibet and Nepal and 12 people have been rescued so far.

The Nepal tourism board said work was under way to establish the whereabouts of 291 tourists and 93 Nepalese nationals, including guides, who were known to be in the area where the flood hit.
