The 26 August disaster began with a chain of events high in the Himalayas. A glacial collapse sent large amounts of rock, ice and meltwater into valleys below, triggering powerful floods downstream.

The Red Cross estimates that more than 90,000 people are likely to have been affected by the disaster, which China has linked to the effects of climate change.

Most of the deaths are in Nepal, where missing include 592 foreigners; rescuers scour rubble for fifth day.

The death toll from deadly flash floods in Nepal, Tibet, and China caused by a glacier collapse has surpassed 900.

More than 4400 people remain missing after last Wednesday's floods.

Nearly 4,500 people are still missing - 3,916 in Nepal and 546 in China's Tibet.
