> More than a week after a glacier-collapse-triggered mudslide hit Gyirong Port on the China-Nepal border, Chinese teams have reopened the only road into the disaster zone. Damaged roads, unstable slopes, rain, poor visibility and secondary hazards continue to complicate searches. Experts call for sustained rescue efforts and warn that the disaster exposes gaps in high-altitude monitoring and early-warning systems.
