Fifteen Britons among 261 foreigners missing in China after floods

Fifteen British nationals are among 261 foreign nationals missing in China following severe floods caused by a glacier collapse in the Himalayas on the Nepal-China border. The disaster has resulted in at least 810 deaths across Nepal and China, with over 3,000 people still unaccounted for. Chinese authorities report 16 fatalities on their side, but concerns exist regarding potential underreporting and lack of transparency. The U.S. State Department disputes the number of American citizens missing, stating at least 85 are unaccounted for. Rescue operations face challenges due to landslides, remote locations, and uncertainty about where victims were located during the flood. International aid has been pledged, including contributions from the U.S., Australia, and Britain.
