Wednesday's glacial collapse sent walls of water surging up to 650ft through Himalayan valleys, burying homes and wiping out bridges in Nepal's Rasuwa district. Over 600 people are now confirmed dead and nearly 2,500 remain missing, including at least 33 British nationals. Among those unaccounted for are Hema Amin, 63, from Croydon, Mala and Bipin Patel from Coventry, and a Hindu priest from Streatham. A UK rapid deployment team was due in Kathmandu on Saturday to support affected families.
