A terrible disaster has hit the border between China and Nepal. Heavy flooding and mudslides have destroyed a busy town that sits right on the edge of the two countries. The area is now covered in deep mud and wreckage.

Rescue teams are working hard to find people trapped in the ruins. Right now, it is not clear exactly how many people are hurt or missing, but the number is in the hundreds. Officials have confirmed that some people have died in the storm.

One story that has touched many people is that of a young customs officer. He had only been on the job for four days when a mudslide hit, killing him. His story has become a symbol of the tragedy for many who are watching the news.

This town was a major spot for trade and travel between the two nations. Now, it looks like a wasteland. Rescuers are using heavy machines and their own hands to search through what is left of buildings and roads.

The area is very remote, which makes the rescue mission very difficult. It is hard to get help and supplies to the people who need them most. Governments on both sides are now working together to count the missing and bring safety to the region.
