Dozens still missing in Nepal flash flood

  • 12 years ago
Rescuers have been digging through mud and debris searching for bodies after a flash flood swept through west Nepal killing at least 21 people and leaving dozens missing, police have said.

A torrent of water swept away scores of houses, vehicles and a bridge near the resort town of Pokhara, about 125km west of Kathmandu, after an avalanche that had blocked the Seti River gave way on Saturday.

Al Jazeera's Subina Shreshta reports from Pokhara.
