The confirmed death toll from the Nepal-Tibet disaster has risen to 797, with more than 3,000 people remaining unaccounted for on the fifth day of rescue operations. Flash floods have devastated the region, entirely consuming villages and prompting a frantic hunt for survivors in hospitals and disaster zones.
Rescue teams are currently battling hazardous conditions, including leg-sucking mud, as they face the dual challenge of a race to free a group of people trapped inside a tunnel and mounting fears of fresh inundation. Authorities in both Nepal and China's Tibet are struggling against the ongoing threat of further flooding as search and rescue efforts continue.
