Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

Nepal-Tibet floods have killed at least 557 people, with rescue efforts halted after a lake formed by debris overflowed, threatening those who rushed to help.

Rescuers in Nepal and Tibet faced challenges as water overran a lake created by mountains of debris upstream of the flood zone, forcing them to pause operations Friday.

Authorities in Nepal and Tibet confirmed 552 deaths in Nepal and five in Tibet, with over 1,400 still missing, as both nations vowed to continue search and rescue efforts.

Differences in death tolls between Nepal and Tibet highlight the complexity of coordinating rescue efforts across borders amid ongoing challenges.
