Flood alerts issued in Nepal and China
Nepal and China have issued warnings about the potential occurrence of new floods in the Himalayas, where two lakes have formed on either side of the border, threatening to inundate areas still recovering from a previous devastating flood. The two countries continue rescue and relief operations, as the water levels of the lakes are expected to rise dangerously. China anticipates that approximately 1,200 Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of water could flow in the coming days, increasing the risk of landslides and sudden water surges. At least 362 people have been killed in the recent flood, and around a thousand individuals remain missing.
