Rescuers in Nepal and China are working tirelessly to retrieve flood survivors caked in mud as the death toll rises to nearly 600. The catastrophic flash floods have left around 2,500 people missing, with the situation worsening as a new lake forms high up in the Himalayan mountains after a glacier collapse. Nepal's army is deployed to help rescue over 100 people trapped in a tunnel at a hydropower plant, while experts warn of the potential for further flooding from the newly formed lake.
