More than 300 tourists, including 33 Britons and 47 Americans, are missing after devastating flash floods and mudslides wiped out buildings and bridges along the Nepal-Tibet border. Houses and roads were swept away in Nepal by rushing water and mudslides while officials in China-controlled Tibet said they feared 'major casualties' with some missing in the county of ​Gyirong after a mudslide hit a land crossing between the neighbours this morning. At least 95 people have been confirmed dead in Nepal following the natural disaster, amid fears that more bodies will be found as search and rescue operations get underway. Meanwhile, China reported that three people have been killed in Gyirong, with an additional 265 people still missing.
