Search for 1,300 missing after deadly Nepal-Tibet floods⁣
⁣
Rescue teams scoured devastated zones Thursday for more than 1,300 people missing a day after flash floods and landslides along the Nepal-Tibet border killed at least 180, sweeping away entire villages.⁣
⁣
Homes were engulfed and vehicles tossed around like they were toys by the tsunami-like rumble of water and mud that struck villages and towns on Wednesday morning on the path of two rivers -- Bhote Koshi and Trishuli. ⁣
⁣
Many of the missing are foreign tourists caught in the disaster that the US Geological Survey believe was caused by a glacial collapse that sent forth a overwhelming flow of icy debris.⁣
⁣
The foreigners out of contact included Indians, and others from Australia, Britain, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Portugal, South Africa, South Korea and the United States, Nepal's tourism board said.⁣
⁣
The US Geological Survey said the flood was sparked by a glacial collapse, that caused seismic activity and the "catastrophic" downstream impacts in Nepal and Tibet.⁣
⁣
Fears of potential further floods remain, with water trapped by the immense piles of debris blocking the valley.⁣
