Nepal Mudslide Toll Passes 900 Dead as Nearly 100 Chinese Nationals Remain Missing

Nepal's disaster authority now lists 903 dead and 4,247 missing from the August 26 glacier-collapse flood, and China's Foreign Ministry says nearly 100 Chinese citizens are among the unaccounted-for, as Chinese tunnel experts join the search.
