Nepal buries dead as rescuers seek thousands missing
At least 4,793 people remain missing, including many tourists and pilgrims.
43 Australians remain missing following deadly flash floods that struck the Nepal-Tibet border, with rescue efforts ongoing. The majority of the missing pilgrims were trekking to a holy site in Tibet. The total number of missing Australians climbed to 43 on Monday, with the individuals reportedly traveling with Himalayan Glacier Adventures, Kailash Journeys, and the Isha Foundation.
Cara Severino, a 25-year-old Sydney woman, is no longer among the missing after she managed to contact her parents two days after her disappearance. More than 3,000 people have been reported missing across Nepal and Tibet, and Nepali and Chinese authorities have confirmed that at least 810 have lost their lives in the disaster. This report will be updated as additional information becomes available.
