KATHMANDU, Aug 27 — More than 1,300 people were reported missing and more than 270 were confirmed dead after flash floods and landslides at the Nepal-Tibet border.
They included hikers and climbers from around the world, many of whom flock to the Himalayan nation to test themselves on some of the world's highest peaks, as well as Hindu devotees on pilgrimages.
These figures are likely to change, which is not uncommon after a major disaster.
Double-counting of dual nationals, matching bodies with people listed as missing and the chaos of a calamity can all contribute to fluctuations both upwards and downwards in the figures.
Here is the latest on the missing:

Nepal's disaster agency said 823 people were unaccounted for on Thursday, a figure that included at least 517 foreigners. It did not give a breakdown of the number of Nepalis or nationalities of the foreigners.
