> At least 797 people have died and 3,048 remain missing after a Himalayan glacier collapsed, unleashing floodwaters and debris across villages in Nepal and China. Severe weather and fears of further flooding have repeatedly halted searches, while specialised teams from several countries join the rescue effort. Nepal has begun DNA sampling and burials for unidentified victims.
