The death toll from the devastating floods near the Nepal-China border rose to over 800 on Sunday. Thousands of people are still missing as rescue officials race against time to locate survivors.
Authorities disclosed that more than 3,000 people are still missing on both sides of the Nepal-China border.
The disaster struck the Gyirong border area in China’s Tibet region and Rasuwa district in northern Nepal, in the Himalayan region.
A torrent of ice, rock, mud and debris swept through the border area on Wednesday, swallowing towns, roads and bridges and causing significant loss of life.
The US Geological Survey (USGS) said a massive glacier collapse and landslide triggered the disaster.
