At least 389 people have died and more than 900 are missing after devastating flash floods hit Nepal and Tibet on Wednesday.

Rescue teams are searching for survivors after floodwaters destroyed homes, damaged roads and swept away bridges.

The US Geological Survey says a glacial collapse and debris flow triggered the flooding, while there are fears of further floods in the region.

In Tibet, at least 558 people are reported missing and three people have been confirmed dead, although it is unclear whether these numbers overlap with Nepal's figures.

Hundreds of foreigners are also missing, including 178 tourists from India, 65 Americans and 33 people from the UK.

Dozens of army and police personnel are also reported missing as rescue operations continue.
