Nepal-Tibet floods: Authorities warn lakes could breach and cause another flooding as search for survivors continues
More than 1,000 people are still missing and almost 400 confirmed dead.
The death toll in the Nepal-Tibet floods has climbed to at least 584, while the number of people missing in Nepal has nearly doubled to 1,924. Rescue efforts in both Nepal and China have resumed after a short pause on Friday, as authorities monitor the risk posed by a landslide-formed lake that began overflowing near the border. The lake has raised concerns about another wave of water and debris sweeping through regions still devastated by the catastrophic floods that began on Wednesday due to a glacier collapse.
