More than 130 people, including tourists, were
trapped in China’s Tibet region after landslides in neighbouring Nepal blocked key roads.
The tourists were
trapped in the remote mountainous town of Zhentang after heavy rains and flooding washed
away sections of a provincial highway, China’s state
media said.
Heavy rains have been triggering floods and
landslides in Nepal for several days
now, killing dozens of people and washing away roads and other key
infrastructure.
Those trapped included migrant workers, businessmen
on travel and tourists, according to state broadcaster CCTV.
Rescuers were attempting to evacuate them on
Wednesday 10 July.
