Summary
At least 384 travellers, including 105 Indians, 93 Nepalis, three US citizens and 12 British nationals were missing from the region, Nepal's tourism authority said. Rescue helicopters could not land in Nepal's affected areas of Syapru Besi and Timure in the mountainous district of Rasuwa, with a population of about 50,000, officials said, with the river flowing above its normal course. A wall of mud and rock appeared to collapse into a river on the Himalayan border between Nepal and Tibet, triggering catastrophic flooding on the Nepali side.
Furthermore, Houses, roads and power projects were swept away in Nepal, while officials in Tibet said they feared "major casualties" with some missing in the county of Gyirong after a mudslide hit a border land crossing. A rescuer told CCTV that it would take at least four hours for the team to reach the site due to the 1.5 meter deep sediment that blocked pathways leading to the affected area. Security footage captured on the Chinese side of the Nepal-Tibet border showed many people fleeing before a wall of rock, mud and water destroyed buildings, vehicles and took many lives.
