China warns lake formed by glacier debris near Nepal border starting to overflow

A debris-dammed lake from a glacier collapse on the China‑Nepal border has begun to overflow, forcing Chinese rescue teams to halt operations and pull back to safety.
Authorities warn heavy rain could add roughly 3 million cubic metres of water over days, raising the risk of a dam breach with peak flow expected around Sept. 1.
Nearly 1,000 people remain missing after the flash flood, including about 540 foreigners from 31 countries, creating a major international concern.
