Authorities have halted rescue operations in Tibet due to the risk of further flooding. A lake formed after the glacier collapse has begun to overflow, leading to the decision to stop the rescue efforts in the Rasuwa district and at the Gyirong border crossing.

Meanwhile, the death toll in Nepal has risen to 469, while over 100 workers remain trapped inside a hydropower plant tunnel. Reports highlight the growing concern regarding the situation in the affected areas.
