Nepal floods: Lake formed by landslide on Nepal-Tibet border overflows, halting rescue work

A landslide-formed lake on the Nepal-China border began overflowing Friday. This overflow halted rescue efforts and threatened areas already devastated by a flash flood. The confirmed death toll from Wednesday's glacier collapse rose to 469 in Nepal. Thousands remain missing in both Nepal and Tibet after the torrent tore through communities. Buildings were wiped out like toothpicks by the powerful floodwaters.
