Hundreds are missing and at least 22 people have died after torrential floods ⁠hit the Himalayan border areas of ⁠Nepal and in ​Tibet in China.

Houses, roads, bridges and power projects were swept away ⁠in Nepal while officials in Tibet said they feared “major casualties” with some missing in the county of Gyirong after a mudslide hit a land crossing between the neighbours.

Officials said 384 tourists, including 291 from countries including India, the United States, the United Kingdom and Malaysia, were reported missing

Rescue helicopters could not land in Nepal’s affected areas of ⁠Syapru Besi and Timure in the mountainous district of Rasuwa, with a population of about 50,000, officials said, with the river flowing above ​its normal course.

Television broadcast images of crumbled homes in ‌the flood waters, floating cars and a ‌metal bridge being washed away, while witnesses told Reuters the waters engulfed entire villages.

“There could be heavy casualties or loss of property,” ‌said the district administrator Narendra Pariyar, who urged dwellers on the banks of the Bhote Koshi River to move to higher ground, after reports of villages and project sites being swept up.

Either China 3 gorges dam broke or the released dam water down stream without notice to other regions. China has been experiencing extreme flooding and typhoon rains.
