Flood rescue enters fourth day in Nepal-China border as weather hampers air operations

Poor weather is hampering aerial rescue operations in Nepal as the search for hundreds of missing people in areas devastated by catastrophic flash floods along the border with China enters its fourth day. Rescue workers and military personnel have been working around the clock since Wednesday's disaster, which killed nearly 600 people and left almost 2,500 missing.

Despite the challenges posed by the weather, search and rescue efforts continue at several locations in Nepal and China's Tibet, including the Upper Trishuli-1 Hydropower Project in Nepal's Rasuwa district and the severely damaged Gyirong border crossing on the Chinese side.
