Nepal marks final day of mourning after catastrophic flood kills over 1,300
A glacier broke off on the Nepal-China border on Aug 26, triggering a mudslide that destroyed towns and villages. At least 1,380 people have been killed and more than 5,500 remain missing, though search teams have rescued four people in recent days. Nepal observed the 13th day after death, the final day of mourning in Hindu tradition, with government offices flying the national flag at half-mast.
