Astonishing new footage from Nepal has emerged showing the full brutal force of flash floods that caused devastation in Nepal on Wednesday.
Hundreds of people have been killed or are missing following the disastrous tsunami-like floods on the Nepal-Tibet border, which engulfed entire villages and swept away bridges.
Emergency services have so far recovered the bodies of at least 332 people, while more than 800 people are missing.
In China-controlled Tibet, officials said 558 people are still missing, while three have been found dead. It isn't currently clear how many of these people overlap with the figures reported by Nepal.
Many of those who survived managed to capture footage of the destruction the floods caused.
One video shows a wild river of rushing water sweeping through a town situated in a valley. In the deep muddy water, an enormous boulder was captured slowly rolling along. Horrified onlookers filmed the huge rock as it passed their homes.

Another terrifying clip showed petrified men in hi-vis jackets and hard hats running for their lives to escape the flood water hurtling towards them.
One foolhardy man who had stopped to film the flood, quickly realised how dangerous it was and ran away in fear, screaming 'Oh my god' over and over again.
As the workers managed to get to higher ground, the sound of the rushing river of water can be heard crashing violently through the area where they had earlier been working.
