The death toll from the flash flood-devastated region of Nepal and Tibet has risen past 470, as rescue efforts continue on both sides of the Himalayan border.
The prime minister’s office in Nepal reported on Friday that 469 people were confirmed killed with 977 missing. At least three people were killed in Tibet and 558 remain missing, according to Chinese authorities.
Authorities in Nepal say 644 of the missing are foreigners. About 1,550 people have been rescued.
The disaster struck on Wednesday, when a glacier collapse sent a surge of ice, water, rock and mud down Himalayan river valleys, burying entire villages and destroying roads, bridges and hydropower plants.
