China halts rescue efforts in Tibet due to risk of further flooding

China suspended rescue operations in the Tibet region on Friday due to a high risk of new floods. The suspension comes in the wake of a mortal landslide that struck the border with Nepal, leaving hundreds of people still missing.

According to state broadcaster CCTV, the ongoing danger is exacerbated by a lake that has formed in the affected area, threatening further disaster and hindering recovery efforts for the missing individuals.
