> Emergency teams are searching for survivors and treating the injured after a devastating flash flood struck the Nepal-Tibet border on Wednesday, killing more than 500 people and leaving over 1,000 missing. Remote, rugged terrain and the threat of further flooding from debris-blocked upstream lakes are making the operation dangerous and delicate.
