The Government of Portugal confirmed on Thursday that two of its nationals are missing following a severe flash flood that struck northern Nepal on Wednesday. The disaster was triggered by a major surge of the Bhotekoshi River in the Rasuwa district near the Chinese border.

Nepalese authorities reported that the disaster has left at least 644 tourists missing, with 517 of them being foreign nationals. The death toll from the floods has risen significantly, with reports citing between 270 and at least 289 fatalities as rescue and assessment efforts continue.
