Relief and recovery efforts continue in Nepal following devastating floods along the Nepal-China border, with the death toll surpassing 1,270.

Not moving quickly right now, but still current and open to further updates.

What we don't know
Open questions are tracked here until evidence answers them. The Truism never fills a gap with an assumption.
- The full extent of the casualties and damage within the highly restricted Tibetan side of the border.
- Whether the newly formed barrier lake will breach and trigger additional flooding along the border region.
- The full extent of casualties and damage on the highly restricted Tibetan side of the border.
- The source and geographic scope of the reported 626 deaths, including whether it combines casualties from Nepal and Tibet.
