What happened
At least 579 people are confirmed dead and nearly 2,000 remain missing after a glacier collapse sent floods of water, mud and rock through valleys along the Nepal-China border. Rescuers in Nepal and China have pulled survivors from mud and hydropower tunnels, and Nepal says more than 3,700 people have been rescued. Authorities are monitoring newly formed barrier lakes, one already overflowing, because a breach could send another surge downstream. U.S. officials said about 90 Americans remain unaccounted for; the Red Cross said 93,000 people may need assistance.
