> The Red Cross says at least 93,000 people may have been affected by flash floods on the Nepal-Tibet border that killed 543 people and left more than 1,500 missing. Destroyed roads and bridges have blocked access to hard-hit areas, while an overflowing debris dam briefly halted rescue operations and raised fears the death toll will grow.
