Andy Burnham offers £5million in aid to disaster-hit Nepal amid desperate search for missing Britons
Andy Burnham has said the UK has offered £5million to help the Nepalese government amid a "very distressing and devastating situation" following flash floods.
Thirty-three British citizens, including a 13-year-old girl, are missing following the extreme flash flooding in Nepal.
A wall of mud and rock appeared to collapse into a river on the Himalayan border between Nepal and Tibet, triggering catastrophic flooding on the Nepali side.
Footage posted online showed dozens of people swept away at the border, with authorities on both the Chinese and Nepalese sides fearing far higher casualties and massive destruction.
