Nepal-Tibet official flood death toll passes 900

Flash floods that tore through the Nepal-Tibet border region last week have killed at least 919 people, with more than 4,700 still missing, according to updated figures from officials in Nepal and China. Of the missing, more than 590 are foreigners, including 85 Americans, and authorities expect the death toll to keep rising.
