A south London Hindu temple is praying for 16 of its members who remain missing after a flood near Nepal and Tibet. The flood has caused widespread devastation, killing over 1,000 people across Nepal and China.
Rescue crews in Nepal are racing against time to find hundreds of missing workers, feared trapped inside hydropower tunnels damaged by the flooding, according to Associated Press. At least 900 workers are missing from hydropower projects, with about 500 believed to be inside tunnels.
According to CBS News, Nepali officials have contacted a U.S. national among the more than 4,000 people still missing. The families of the missing temple members are waiting anxiously for news of their loved ones.
