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 with Nepal, leaving hundreds of people still missing.
State broadcaster CCTV reported the development, noting that the heightened threat of additional deluges stems from a lake formed by the natural disaster. Authorities are currently prioritizing safety as the risk of further flooding remains elevated in the affected border area.
