00:00A newly formed lake near the China-Nepal border is overflowing.
00:03The lake was created by debris after a glacier collapse.
00:07Chinese authorities have now halted rescue operations.
00:10Rescue workers were moved to a safer area.
00:13Officials say the lake holds more than 2.5 million cubic meters of water.
00:17That is up from 1.5 to 2 million cubic meters a day earlier.
00:21Another 3 million cubic meters could flow into the lake over the next three days.
00:26Peak water flow is expected around September 1.
00:28Heavy rain has also weakened soil and rocks around the area.
00:32Authorities warn of possible flooding and other secondary disasters.
00:36These include mountain collapses and avalanches.
00:39Meanwhile, nearly 1,000 people remain missing on both sides of the border.
00:44Officials are closely monitoring the unstable lake and surrounding terrain.
00:48Further rainfall could increase the risk in the coming days.
