The death toll from last week's devastating Himalayan glacial floods passed 1,000 on Tuesday, as Chinese and Nepali teams searched for survivors. Nepal's foreign minister said the disaster was "a warning signal" of the growing risks posed by climate change.
Nearly 4,500 people are missing after a wave of freezing water, rocks and debris from a high-altitude glacial collapse roared downstream last Wednesday, wiping out entire settlements and gouging a path of destruction through Nepal.
