Death toll from Nepal flooding hits 626, with almost 2,500 people missing

Flooding in Nepal has resulted in a death toll of 626, with nearly 2,500 people still missing. The UK has deployed a rapid response team to assist British nationals and their families affected by the disaster. Rescue efforts have been hindered by poor weather conditions and infrastructure damage, including destroyed bridges and roads. Chinese authorities report seven deaths and 554 missing on their side of the border. Survivors describe the devastation as severe, with entire villages destroyed and comparisons made to a 'tsunami from the sky.' Some victims were pilgrims traveling to Mount Kailash, a sacred Hindu site.
