China suspended rescue operations on Friday in the Tibet region due to a high risk of new floods. The suspension comes in the wake of a mortal landslide that struck the border area with Nepal, leaving hundreds of people still missing.
State broadcaster CCTV reported on the situation, noting that a lake has formed as a result of the disaster. The elevated threat of subsequent flooding prompted authorities to halt the ongoing search and rescue efforts to ensure safety.
