WorldOn the frontline: BBC visits town erased by floods on Nepal-China border

Devastating floods struck Nepal last week, killing 939 people and leaving 3,925 missing. Towns in the worst-hit Rasuwa district have been transformed, while Shyaphrubesi near Gyirong in China’s Xizang has been reduced almost entirely to hardened mud and rubble. Rescue efforts continue, with workers still trapped in tunnels, as survivors recall the disaster with fear and grief.
