Market Impact
The disaster hit Rasuwa district in northern Nepal early on Wednesday, with officials attributing the flooding in the Bhotekoshi river basin to a tremor that triggered snowslides. Nepalese troops said 88 people had been rescued so far, while authorities in China’s Tibet region reported three deaths and 265 missing.
Search teams are looking for 579 tourists still unaccounted for, including 466 foreigners from 28 countries. Of those, 113 are Nepalese, 54 American and 33 British, according to police. The missing also include citizens of Malaysia, South Africa and India. Chinese state media said 12 British hikers and individuals from the United States, Malaysia, South Africa and India were among the missing in Tibet.
Authorities expect major losses, with efforts focused on locating the tourists and assessing damage to homes and roads.
