China has censored videos showing deadly flash floods on the Nepal-Tibet border, with footage of the disaster now reported to be extremely difficult to locate online within China.
The material concerns flash flooding in the border region between Nepal and Tibet, and identifies the floods as deadly. Videos showing the incident had circulated online but have since become almost impossible to find on China’s heavily controlled internet.
No casualty figure, date of the flooding, precise location or cause of the flash floods was provided in the supplied material. There was also no official explanation or response included regarding the removal or suppression of the footage.
The latest known situation is that visual material showing the floods is no longer readily accessible on Chinese online platforms, limiting public visibility of the incident within China.
