More than 2,400 people are missing and at least 586 have been killed after devastating floods tore through the border region between Nepal and Tibet, as rescuers reached some of the worst-hit areas for the first time.
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) said on Friday that early estimates suggested about 93,000 people may have been affected by Wednesday's disaster and warned that the death toll was expected to rise.
