Devastating floods on the Nepal-Tibet border region this week have killed at least 538 people, Nepal's disaster authority said Friday.

Chinese state media earlier confirmed five dead following Wednesday's disaster, taking the total killed to at least 543.

More than 1,400 people are missing, including hundreds of foreigners.

Indians make up the largest number of missing foreigners, while the United States said 90 of its citizens were out of contact.
