The death toll in the devastating flash floods in Nepal has risen to 903, up from 788, according to the latest data released by Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA)

Nepal’s disaster management authority warns that a lake formed by debris blocking the Bhotekoshi River was rising, raising fears that it could burst and trigger further flooding.

The death toll continues to climb two days after flash flooding obliterated parts of the Nepal-Tibet border region on Wednesday, with at least 469 bodies recovered.
