At the high-altitude crossing where China and Nepal meet, the earth itself has turned against the living — a catastrophic mudslide has swallowed a major border complex, and floodwaters continue to threaten those who would search for survivors.

The silence imposed by halted operations and restricted information leaves families and aid workers alike waiting at the edge of what can be known.
