A 13-year-old girl is among 33 British nationals missing after devastating flash floods and mudslides struck Nepal’s Rasuwa region near the Tibet border. At least 162 people have been killed, while hundreds, including tourists, remain unaccounted for. Tour operator Alpine Eco Trek lost contact with 12 British travellers heading to Mount Kailash, while other groups also remain missing. The UK Foreign Office said it was working with Nepalese authorities.
