At least 538 people have died and approximately 2,500 people remain missing following massive landslides and catastrophic flash floods at the Nepal-China border. The disaster began with a significant landslide on August 26, which destroyed houses and wiped out bridges across the region. Satellite imagery and video footage confirm the immense scale of the destruction. Two newly formed lakes created by the landslide are now the primary focus of concern for rescue teams. One of these lakes began overflowing on Friday, according to Chinese state broadcaster CCTV, creating a potential risk for further landslides or flash flooding in the surrounding areas.
