# Rescue operations in Nepal and bordering Tibet are entering a critical stage as teams search for hundreds of missing people after devastating flash floods. At least 469 people have died in Nepal, with nearly a thousand still missing. In Tibet, 558 people are unaccounted for. Rescue teams have also had to contend with the threat of a second flood from a newly formed lake, where a landslide has blocked a river. The lake is already overflowing, forcing teams to pause operations while its stability is assessed.
