Rescuers are searching for 33 UK citizens, part of a group of 403 overseas individuals who remain missing following destructive flash floods in Nepal. By Thursday morning, 162 bodies had been retrieved from the Rasuwa region, near the Chinese border, according to Nepal Police. The floods, caused by a glacial collapse, swept away houses and created difficult conditions for search teams.
