Rescue teams are searching for more than 1,300 missing people along the Nepal-China border following catastrophic floods that have killed over 353 individuals in Nepal and Tibet. The disaster occurred after a glacier collapse triggered a deadly torrent of water and mud several stories high that swept through local communities.

The flash floods struck the border region, leaving widespread destruction in their wake. Emergency personnel mobilized Thursday to conduct search and recovery operations in the affected areas, racing against time to locate the large number of individuals still unaccounted for following the sudden environmental event.
