The phenomenon affected several towns located near the border with Tibet, in China, during the early hours of Wednesday. The force of the water has caused at least 160 deaths, in addition to significant damage to roads, bridges, homes and other infrastructure in the area.

While search efforts continue, Nepalese authorities are keeping the balance of victims and missing persons open given the magnitude of the damage caused by the flood, which has especially hit towns near the Tibetan border.
