1. SOUNDBITE (English) Niranjan Shrestha, The Associated Press: ++PARTIALLY OVERLAID BY SHOT 2++
“The scene outside the army barracks in Nuwakot where hundreds of people are waiting for their family members and friends who have been missing or out of reach since yesterday’s massive flash floods. Every time a helicopter lands, people anxiously look to see if someone they know is getting out. For those who find their loved ones, it brings a moment of relief. Many others are also hoping to get helicopter ride back to their villages, where roads have been completely cut off. But as the death toll continues to rise, another day passes, without finding their family, friends or loved ones, people here are exhausted, worried and desperate for the news.”

STORYLINE:
Rescue teams searched Thursday for hundreds of missing people along the Nepal-China border, where a deadly torrent of water and mud several stories high swept through communities a day earlier following a glacier collapse.

More than 350 people were killed, police said, and more than 1,300 were missing, including scores of foreigners and pilgrims. Hundreds of others have been displaced across the Himalayan region.

The steep slopes and lush valleys below the Himalayan mountain range — home to many of the world’s highest peaks and remaining glaciers — are especially vulnerable to flooding and landslides.

Melting glaciers have become more common because of human-caused climate change.

The disaster has left at least 826 people missing in Nepal.

Authorities in Tibet, an autonomous region of China, reported at least three dead and 558 missing.
