Nepali rescuers faced challenging conditions on Sept. 6 as search operations after catastrophic floods entered their 12th day, buoyed by the extraordinary rescues of four survivors.

The glacial and mountain collapse on the China-Nepal border has killed at least 1,372 people and left more than 5,500 missing across the two countries.

Rescuers found two more people alive on Sept. 5, joining two saved the day before in what have been described as miraculous tales of survival.
