Flash flooding in Nepal sweeps through a valley, and authorities report that hundreds of tourists are missing, including Americans. ABC News and CBS News both cite a preliminary total of around 384 missing people after serious flooding.
The flooding occurs in an area associated with tourism, and reports describe villages being swept away. ABC News states that the Nepal tourism board lists at least three American tourists among the missing, while CBS News says Americans are among nearly 400 tourists unaccounted for. Both outlets refer to the figures as preliminary and attribute the counts to authorities or official tourism-related sources.
While the core details are consistent—flash floods, a large missing-tours list, and U.S. tourists among them—outlets differ slightly in how they present the totals (“preliminary” 384 versus “almost 400”) and the number of Americans named (at least three versus Americans included within the broader group).
