Nepal and China resume flood rescue as death toll surpasses 600

Rescue operations have resumed in the Nepal-Tibet border region following a temporary halt due to concerns about a newly formed glacial lake. The death toll has surpassed 626 in Nepal, with 1,924 people missing, while at least seven deaths have been reported in Tibet with 558 people missing. Experts warn that the unstable lake poses a continued risk of another flood. Nepal has sought assistance from India and China, which are sending specialized teams including tunnel rescue units. A glacial-hazards scientist warned that the lake's barrier is highly unstable and recommended natural drainage or manual methods to manage the risk.
