Glacier Collapse Flash Flood: Hundreds Dead, Thousands Missing on Nepal-Tibet Border

A glacier collapse triggered a flash flood through the Nepal-Tibet border region, killing at least 633 and leaving nearly 3,000 missing. A Chinese rescue team reaching the Gyirong border crossing five days later found "nothing but ruins." Nepal is monitoring two upstream barrier lakes — meltwater pools dammed by debris — and satellite imagery shows one growing with no visible outlet, threatening rescue operations still underway.
