Flash floods in Nepal result in significant casualties and destruction

Flash floods along the Nepal-China border have resulted in at least 353 deaths and over 1,300 individuals missing, with significant destruction of infrastructure. Preliminary investigations suggest the floods were caused by a glacier breaking off and temporarily damming a river, leading to a rapid surge of water. Relief operations are underway as authorities report that individuals from over 30 countries are among the missing.
