Floods and landslides on Nepal-Tibet border leave hundreds dead or missing
Heavy flooding and landslides along the Nepal-Tibet frontier have killed or left unaccounted for hundreds of people, according to reports on Wednesday.
Flooding and landslides along the border between Nepal and Tibet have killed or left hundreds of people missing, according to reports published on Wednesday. The disaster hit communities in the mountainous frontier area, where rescue efforts have been complicated by difficult terrain.
The BBC said the scale of the toll was still being assessed as authorities and emergency teams responded to the damage. The flooding affected both sides of the border region, with landslides adding to the destruction.
The incident is the latest severe weather emergency to affect the Himalayan region, where steep slopes and fast-moving water can quickly turn heavy rain into deadly flash floods. Officials have continued to monitor the situation as searches and recovery work proceed.
