At least 165 bodies have been recovered following massive flash floods along the Nepal-Tibet border. 

Breakdown by Region

Nepal: Police and rescue teams have recovered between 157 and 165 bodies as search operations continue through heavy mud and debris.
Tibet (China): Local authorities in Gyirong County have confirmed at least 3 bodies recovered following a severe mudslide. 

Current Situation

Missing Persons: More than 800 to 1,500 people remain missing on both sides of the border, including many foreign tourists and pilgrims.
Cause: Experts and the US Geological Survey report that a glacial collapse and debris flow triggered the sudden, devastating floods.
Rescues: Bad weather and damaged roads are making it very difficult for rescue workers to reach the worst-hit areas.
