Death toll in Nepal flood reaches 14 May 6, 2012 - 14:13 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Rescuers scoured Nepal's central Annapurna region on Sunday, May 6, for survivors of flash flooding that sent a wall of water smashing through riverside communities as the death toll rose to 14. The Seti burst its banks near the city of Pokhara, a popular tourist hub, on Saturday, sweeping away an entire village, and swamping families enjoying picnics on the river banks. Officials said that dozens of people were still missing, and that among the dead were three Ukrainian tourists who had originally been described by rescuers as Russian, AFP reported. “According to the data available, there are no Russians among those killed or missing in the floods,” RIA Novosti quoted Alexei Yekin, an assistant to the Russian ambassador in Nepal, as saying.
