The viral video has emerged as Nepal battles one of its worst recent disasters.
Flash floods triggered after an ice-rock avalanche and glacial collapse near the Nepal-Tibet border tore through parts of central Nepal, sending huge volumes of water, mud and debris downstream.
Homes, roads, bridges and vehicles were swept away, while entire settlements were left damaged or buried.
According to the Nepal Police figures cited in the background information, authorities involved in rescue operations had recovered hundreds of bodies by Friday. The reported death toll has risen above 500, while nearly 1,000 people were reported missing across the Nepal and Tibet sides of the border.
The disaster has also left a large number of people injured and displaced.
Tourists and travellers were among those affected. Nepal Tourism Board figures cited in the background information said hundreds of tourists and travellers remained missing in flood-hit areas, including Nepali residents.
The rapidly changing situation has made rescue operations extremely difficult, with damaged roads, dangerous terrain and continuing concerns about further flooding hampering access to affected communities.
