The disaster, believed to be triggered by a glacial collapse, unleashed a terrifying wall of water and mud that swept through villages on the course of the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli rivers. Nepalese authorities have recovered 162 bodies, while Chinese officials reported three fatalities in Tibet and 558 people, including 260 foreigners, still missing.

Nepal's tourism ministry reported 468 tourists, 393 of whom were foreigners, unaccounted for, along with numerous families whose members were rescued but remain missing.",
