Nepal floods: Death toll reaches 469, over 1,400 missing
Floods and landslides in Nepal have killed at least 469 people, with around 1,400 missing. Fresh flooding warnings have been issued along the Himalayan border as rescue efforts continue.
Floods and landslides in Nepal's Bhotekoshi and Trishuli river regions have killed at least 469 people, with roughly 1,400 others still missing, authorities said. Nepal and China have issued warnings of fresh flooding along their Himalayan border, complicating search and rescue operations.
A lake formed by a Wednesday mudslide faces a high risk of breaching, Chinese authorities warned, which could send additional floodwater downstream.
India's Ministry of External Affairs said 290 Indian nationals remain uncontactable in Nepal. So far, 84 Indians have been rescued, including 63 workers from the Trishuli-I hydropower project and 21 people from Tamil Nadu. Around 200 Indians undertaking the Mansarovar Yatra have also requested evacuation.
Overall, 910 people, including 517 foreign tourists, remain out of contact in Nepal.
