Where it stands
The survivors of the Nepal-China flood are grappling with the trauma of loss. The flood, which originated in the Himalayas, has left a path of destruction across both countries. The floodwaters were caused by a glacial lake outburst, which sent a wall of water and debris crashing down the mountainside.
The risk of additional flooding remains high, as the debris-clogged river could overflow again. The Chinese government is working to mitigate the risk from lakes formed by glacier debris near the Nepal border. The death toll in Nepal has risen to 389, with fears of a second flood looming.
The WSJ has published an analysis of how the floods originated and swept through the region. The open question is whether the risk of further flooding can be mitigated in time to prevent additional loss of life.
