The death toll from devastating flash floods and mudslides along the Nepal-China border has risen to 1,130, while 4,462 people, including 844 foreigners, remain missing, according to the latest official figures.
In Nepal, authorities have recovered 1,114 bodies since the disaster struck on August 26. Another 292 people were injured, while 3,916 remain missing. About 1.6 million people have been affected by the floods.
Around 12,000 people have been rescued, with more than 21,000 security personnel, including soldiers and police officers, deployed for ongoing search and rescue operations. On the Chinese side, at least 16 people have died and 546 remain missing.
The disaster began after a glacier on Mount Langtang Lirung in Nepal broke apart at an altitude of about 5,200 metres, triggering an avalanche of ice and rocks that developed into a massive debris flow. The disaster caused widespread destruction across several areas in Nepal and also affected the Gyirong border crossing in Tibet.
International assistance has also arrived, with South Korea, China and India contributing rescue personnel, equipment and specialist support as efforts to locate those still missing continue.
