At flood-destroyed China-Nepal border, no sign of a once-busy port

Rescue workers search for hundreds missing after a glacier collapse caused a devastating mudslide. The Gyirong border crossing, a key trade and pilgrimage route, was destroyed by the disaster. Over 1,300 people have died and more than 5,000 remain missing on both sides. Rescue operations face challenges due to high altitude, poor weather, and deep mud. Temporary power has been restored to the affected area as recovery continues.
