Over 270 individuals have been confirmed dead following a deadly flood in Nepal, while 1,403 others, including 341 foreign nationals, remain unaccounted for, according to Nepalese officials. The devastating floods, which struck cities along the Nepal-China border, have left a trail of destruction, as evidenced by disturbing footage circulating on social media. The floods reportedly submerged buildings and swept away a bridge, as captured in a viral video.
Experts believe that a glacier avalanche may have triggered the catastrophic flooding. Chinese Prime Minister Li Qiang is currently visiting the affected areas in Tibet, as reported by state media. Aljazeera has reported that over 500 people, including hundreds of foreigners, are currently missing in Tibet alone.
