KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Rescuers were racing to find hundreds of people still missing two days after a catastrophic flash flood struck the Himalayan border between Nepal and China, as the death toll rose Friday and authorities warned that an overflowing lake formed after the disaster could trigger further flooding.
Nepal police said Friday morning that the country’s death toll had risen to 469 from 390 a day earlier, while China had not updated its report of just three deaths in Tibet. Together, the two countries have said that more than 1,500 people are missing.
