At Least 95 Dead from Massive Floods in Tibet and Nepal, Hundreds Missing

"Torrential rains and swollen rivers caused massive floods and dangerous landslides in Tibet
and Nepal on Wednesday, sweeping away villages and destroying crucial roads and bridges.
The death toll stood at 95 on Wednesday, with hundreds of people missing, including some 341 foreign nationals.
According to
Chinese state media, the flash floods began at around 9:00 a.m. local time in the border region of Nepal, quickly spilling over into Tibet’s Gyirong county. The first report of the disaster came from a border checkpoint that was obliterated in a matter of seconds, as recorded by horrified onlookers:
Nepalese officials reported 72 fatalities, plus hundreds of tourists, workers, and police missing, including 341 foreigners from 26 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, India, Australia, and the Netherlands." Breitbart
