The death toll from flash floods in Nepal and China has crossed 1,000, according to disaster officials. Nepal's disaster agency reported 987 deaths in Nepal and 16 in China. The agency said 3,916 people remain missing, including 583 foreigners, and at least 11,814 people have been rescued so far.

The floods began on August 26 after a glacial collapse in the Himalayas sent rock, ice and meltwater into valleys below, triggering powerful floods that swept through parts of Tibet and Nepal. Rescue teams are using helicopters and other aircraft to reach communities isolated by destroyed roads, bridges and landslides. Many areas remain cut off as search and rescue efforts continue.
