> More than 2,000 rescuers are searching the Gyirong border port area in China's Xizang after an ice-rock avalanche in Nepal triggered a mudslide on August 26. The disaster has killed 16 people and left 546 missing in Xizang. Teams are clearing the G216 highway, restoring communications and monitoring rainfall, barrier lakes and geological risks.
