Amman, Aug. 26 (Petra) – At least nine people have died and 384
travelers, including 291 foreign nationals, remain unaccounted for
after flash floods hit northern Nepal on Wednesday.
The sudden flooding along the Bhotekoshi River caused widespread
destruction, washing away homes, bridges, roads, and power
infrastructure. The market settlements of Timure and Syaphru in the
Rasuwa district suffered heavy damage.
Among the missing are 105 Indian nationals, according to the Nepal
Tourism Board.
Authorities gathered the preliminary figures from travel agencies and
are verifying details in coordination with local guides, tour
operators, and security forces.
Nepalese authorities launched search-and-rescue operations, though
high water levels, bad weather, and severed communication links have
hampered access to remote areas.
