Devastating floods near the border with China have killed at least 939 people in Nepal, while the number of missing in the country dropped to 3,925, its disaster authority said on Monday, as rescue efforts entered a sixth day.

Chinese state media earlier confirmed 16 dead and 546 people missing in Tibet, taking the overall toll to 955 dead and 4,471 missing.

Nepal's list of the missing includes 592 foreigners.

But the number of missing workers on hydropower projects -- which took the full force of the torrent -- dropped to 639 on Monday from and earlier count of 933.
