At least 65 Americans and 25 Canadians are among hundreds missing after devastating flash floods and mudslides near the Nepal-Tibet border, Nepali authorities said. More than 350 people have been confirmed dead, while over 500 tourists from 28 countries remain unaccounted for. The US and Canadian governments said they were working with local authorities to assist affected citizens. Scientists believe a landslide, possibly linked to a glacier collapse, triggered the disaster, which swept away homes, roads and bridges in Nepal's Rasuwa district and surrounding areas. (PC: BBC)
