Nepal floods: children as young as 11 among Australian tour group missing after flash flooding
The Guardian reports that a Nepali tour operator has lost contact with a 47-person trekking group, including 15 Australians. He fears the Australians died in the flood-ravaged valley. The case is especially serious because children as young as 11 were in the group. The deaths have not been independently confirmed, but the report adds a major international dimension to the already extensive foreign-national search.
