The combined toll from Nepalese and Chinese authorities after the enormous flood that hit the border zone of both countries last Wednesday already exceeds one thousand dead. Rescue operations continue as authorities attempt to locate more than 4,000 people who remain missing, according to the latest tally from Nepalese authorities.
