Another terrifying video of the flood in Nepal. This footage is from the immigration center in Chinese-administered Tibet. The flood waves surged past a building nearly 5 stories tall. It’s unlikely that anyone here survived. The flood originated in this very area before later entering Nepal.
At least 31 people have been killed and hundreds of tourists are missing after a huge flash flood swept through villages in Nepal. Dramatic footage shows a torrent of water hitting at the Nepal-China border. The toll is likely to rise.
Tibet has also been impacted, with Chinese state media warning of “major casualties.” A mudslide hit China’s Gyirong port, where Chinese leader Xi Jinping urged “all-out” search efforts. The quick response of China’s leadership is another sign of the severity of the disaster.
Nepal’s foreign minister said an earthquake triggered a large landslide, which in turn blocked a river, sending a torrent of water downstream. Helicopters have been winching stranded people from rooftops.
