Bodybags could be seen being moved by emergency responders in Nepal's Nuwakot district on Friday (August 28) as the death toll from deadly flash floods topped 500.

Nepal and China resumed rescue operations that had been suspended briefly in the flood-hit Himalayas on Friday after risks from an overflowing lake were found to be manageable, easing fears of fresh devastation.

Wednesday's (August 26) catastrophic flood caused by a glacier collapse killed 547 people in Nepal and five in China's Tibet, with almost 1,000 more missing in the two countries.

A huge torrent of rock, ice, mud and debris cascaded through the Himalayan mountain river systems after the collapse, and also led to the formation of a lake where water continued to collect and rise.
