OTTAWA — No Canadians are among the 121 foreign nationals rescued near the Nepal-China border after a flash flood tore through the region on Wednesday.
The flash flooding along the Himalayan border between Nepal and China, caused by a glacial collapse, has killed at least 570 people.
Nepal’s disaster management authority said the number of people reported missing has doubled to 1,924.
The Nepal tourism board website listed 667 foreign nationals among the missing on Thursday, including 25 Canadians. Global Affairs Canada is aware of 30 Canadians and permanent residents missing in Nepal and the Tibet region.
