For six days, rescue teams have been searching for survivors from the devastating flash flood that swept through the Nepal Tibet border area.
But hopes are fading.
The Nepali government says four thousand people are still missing on their side of the border, with nine hundred known to have died.
In Tibet, which is controlled by China, more than five hundred are reported missing, but the official death toll is just sixteen, and the Communist authorities are cracking down on anyone saying the true number of dead is significantly higher.
Search and rescue efforts are continuing, as I heard from our China correspondent, Stephen McDonnell.
Well on the Tibetan side of the border, there are teams we're being told that are still looking for survivors, but really you'd have to think it'd be an an absolute miracle if they found anyone now.
They haven't found any survivors since the end of last week.
But it isn't stopping them trying, and there are these images of rescuers repelling with ropes down the sides of collapsed mountains crawling through mud, calling out names underneath what could be sort of covered areas.
But like yeah, like I say, it's it's to no avail.
And what's happening now is that the police have announced that they are cracking down
overplaying the emergency and especially saying that the death toll must be much higher.
But the thing is when you consider
that there are nearly five hundred and fifty people officially listed as missing.
The real death toll absolutely has to be much higher than the official figures would reveal it.
It it can't be anything else.
So it seems a bit much to be punishing people for speculating on that.
Yeah, why would the authorities want to play down the number of dead when eventually it is gonna come out?
Well it may not come out.
