Rescue flights paused as swollen lake threatens further flooding in Nepal-Tibet disaster zone

Authorities in Nepal suspended helicopter rescue missions for 90 minutes after a dammed lake in the flood-hit Rasuwa district began overflowing, prompting locals to move to higher ground. The death toll from the flash flood has reached 469, with about 1,300 people still unaccounted for. The pause reflects heightened risk of additional destruction as rescue teams race to find survivors.
