Nepal-Tibet Floods Kill Hundreds

At least 389 people have been confirmed dead and more than 1,300 remain missing after flash floods struck the Nepal-Tibet border region on Wednesday, sweeping through Himalayan valleys. Preliminary assessments point to a glacier collapse that temporarily dammed a river before releasing a surge of water, mud and debris. Nepalese and Chinese authorities are searching by helicopter and ground teams for missing residents and tourists, including about 90 Americans and hundreds of other foreigners. Officials warned a newly formed barrier lake could burst, complicating aid delivery to affected areas.
