Himalayan flood: Dozens of Australians are feared to be missing after a flash flood tore through a border region of Nepal and Tibet. Follow our live coverage.
Grave fears are held for hundreds of people, many of them tourists, who are unaccounted-for. Video shows a massive wall of water sweeping over border posts and towns.
The flood is believed to have been started by a glacier avalanche, with a large-scale rescue response now underway to find those missing.
One eyewitness tells the ABC the first indication something was wrong was when he heard "a massive roar", before a wave arrived and washed away entire towns.
