The death toll from the Himalayan flood on the Nepal-China border has passed 1,000, with roughly 4,500 people still missing a week after a glacier collapsed and sent a wall of water and debris through the valleys below.

Some shit you should know before you dig in: Back on August 26, a glacier on Nepal’s Mount Langtang Lirung broke off at around 5,200 meters and dumped a mix of ice and rock down the mountain, picking up mud and water on the way. The resulting flash flood tore through Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading, Kavre, and the Kathmandu Valley on the Nepali side and left the Gyirong crossing into Tibet under debris. Whole villages are gone, along with homes, roads, bridges, and power plants.

What’s going on now: Authorities have confirmed that 987 people are dead in Nepal, with 3,916 missing, including 583 foreigners, according to the country’s National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority. China reported 16 dead and 546 missing as of Sunday, 261 of them foreign. That puts the combined toll at 1,003 dead and 4,462 missing across more than 30 nationalities. Nearly 12,000 people have been rescued, and of the 279 injured, 168 have been discharged.

At least 900 workers are unaccounted for at 12 damaged hydropower projects, with around 500 believed trapped in tunnels built wide enough to drive trucks through. At Upper Trishuli-1 in Rasuwa, 576 people are missing, with roughly 300 thought to be inside the tunnel. At Trishuli-3, crews are trying to descend about 15 meters to reach anyone still alive. Nepal’s army has released footage of teams wading through mud and climbing over rock in the dark. So far they have not pulled out any survivors.

The death toll has left local morgues overflowing, and Nepal has started taking DNA samples from unclaimed bodies before burying them. That decision has angered some families, who are left unable to hold their own funerals.

This all comes as the UN says about 65,000 people need emergency water and sanitation supplies. The agency also counts 22,000 kids who need protection services, 2,600 under the age of five who will probably need treatment for severe wasting, and 10,500 women who are pregnant or breastfeeding and need food support.
