At least 31 people have been killed, and hundreds are missing, after a massive flash flood and mudslide on the Nepal-Tibet border on Wednesday.
Nepal’s tourist board says the missing tourists include more than 100 from India and 12 from the UK.
CCTV from Tibet shows a wall of water and mud hitting buildings at a border crossing. Other images from Nepal show people trying to flee as the flood surges.
In Tibet, Chinese President Xi Jinping is issuing personal directives, signalling the seriousness of the incident.
Nepal’s foreign minister says the flood may have been caused by an earthquake triggering an avalanche.
It’s considered the most devastating disaster in Nepal since the 2015 earthquake which killed 9,000 people.
