The Nepal disaster leaves more than 620 dead, while rescue teams reach the core of the tragedy in Tibet

China has raised the death toll from a massive flash flood that swept through the Gyirong border post in Tibet on Wednesday to 7, with 554 people still missing. Rescue teams have now reached the most affected areas, which were previously inaccessible due to road destruction and mud accumulation. In Nepal, the death toll has risen to at least 626, with 1,924 people missing, according to the police and rescue services.
