Rescue Resumes as Barrier Lake Threatens Fresh Floods on Nepal-China Frontier

Rescue efforts have restarted on both sides of the Nepal-China border after fears of a fresh flood from a barrier lake formed by a glacier- and landslide-triggered deluge. Nepal reports at least 489 killed, with thousands still missing, while hundreds of foreigners have been rescued; China reports 5 dead and more than 550 missing. Officials warn of ongoing risks as the barrier lake drains and heavy rain could trigger further slides, prompting international aid,警训 and large-scale mobilization of security and rescue teams.
