Rescue efforts are continuing in Nepal and Tibet after flash floods killed hundreds and left many more missing. The floods have devastated communities, with survivors describing the destruction as people were 'erased before their eyes'.
Fears of new flooding from landslide lake
Officials fear that a lake formed by the landslide could overflow and cause fresh flooding. This risk, along with difficulty accessing disaster-hit areas, is hindering rescue and recovery missions.
Situation on the ground
South Asia correspondent Hannah Ellis-Petersen, who is in Nepal, reported on the situation on the ground. The challenging conditions are complicating efforts to reach those in need and assess the full scale of the disaster.
