Families fly to Nepal in search for 33 missing British nationals
Families of missing UK nationals have flown out to Nepal to search for their relatives.
The death toll from the floods in Nepal and Tibet has risen to at least 475, with several hundred people missing, including 537 tourists.
Among the British nationals reported missing are a 13-year-old girl and 14-year-old boy. On Friday, Nepalese authorities released a list of the names of all known missing tourists, 33 of which are British nationals.
The rush to find survivors comes amid warnings of further flooding across the region.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham said the UK has offered £5m to help the Nepalese government following the floods, saying it was a "very distressing and devastating situation".
He had previously urged Britons in the region "to follow guidance from the local authorities and follow our travel advice".
Speaking on Thursday, King Charles said he and the Queen were "heartbroken" and sent their "most profound sympathy" to those affected.
As rescue efforts continue, details of the missing are slowly emerging.
Fishtail Tours and Travels confirmed Leena Bector, from Slough, was among 27 travellers linked to the tour company who remain unaccounted for.
Her husband, Bhupesh Bector, told The Times: "I know that she's in Nepal for sure, so even if they find her today or tomorrow, I need to be there."
