Rescue Resumes as Glacial Lake Threat Looms Over Nepal–Tibet Flood Disaster
Rescue operations in Nepal and along the Nepal–Tibet border resumed after a pause caused by a rising glacial lake that could trigger a second flood; the death toll has surpassed 600 with thousands missing, and international aid is arriving as authorities warn the lake barrier is unstable and may be lowered manually. The disaster followed a Himalaya glacier collapse that sent a surge down the Trishuli River, with Nepal seeking support from India and China and China, India, the UN and others joining relief efforts.
