> The International Campaign for Tibet says about 300 homes were destroyed on the Tibetan side of last week’s floods and that casualties are likely far higher than Chinese officials report. Authorities say 16 people died and 546 are missing, while at least 10 people were penalised for sharing “false disaster information”.
