Nepal-Tibet flood death toll passes 470

The death toll from catastrophic flash floods along the Nepal-China border has surpassed 470, with over 1,500 people still missing.

Rescue operations remain suspended due to the threat of further flooding from a barrier lake.

Nepal has declined foreign rescue assistance, while South Korea has issued travel advisories for four affected provinces.

The Nepali army has been rescuing people trapped in tunnels, and families of foreign nationals, including a Malaysian firefighter, are flying to Nepal to seek answers.
