At least 54 Americans are among the hundreds missing after devastating flash floods swept through the Nepal-Tibet border following a catastrophic landslide.
A total of 579 people are missing, according to figures from the Nepali police.
Of that total, 54 people are from the US, 24 from Canada, and 33 are from the United Kingdom. Authorities say that 113 of the missing tourists are Nepalese.
Of the missing visitors, 466 are foreign nationals from 28 different countries.
The office of Nepal's prime minister confirmed that 157 bodies have so far been recovered. Massive rescue efforts have continued into Wednesday evening.
Harrowing footage from the scene showed fast-flowing floodwater ripping through the streets and destroying everything - including homes and bridges - in its path.
River banks burst as walls of water came rushing through the densely populated areas, sweeping people underwater as others sought safety on higher ground.
Aerial footage showed floodwater completely consuming land near the Nepal-Tibet border, sending people running for their lives as buildings collapsed in seconds.
