加德满都，尼泊尔—— 在尼泊尔与西藏交界附近一处陡峭山坡及其支撑的冰川坍塌五天后，洪水、泥浆和 debris 倾泻而下的山谷，将沿途一切席卷一空。周一，救援人员仍在搜寻，试图找到生还希望。
上周末，一名6岁女孩从被泥浆覆盖的废墟中被奇迹般救出，这让人们燃起希望，相信在这场灾难后仍有4200名被列为失踪人员的人可能还活着。
尼泊尔国家灾害管理机构周一表示，目前已确认至少903人遇难。随着救援恢复工作在洪水肆虐后留下的满目疮痍的地貌上推进，预计死亡人数还会进一步上升。
但危险并未解除。周一，神圣的特里舒里河水位再次暴涨，此次是由季风雨引发。这促使搜救团队加快行动速度，以期在废墟中找到仍存活的人。

萨马尔思·斯里瓦斯塔瓦是成千上万绝望的民众之一，他们都在期盼着亲人能从喜马拉雅山谷厚厚的泥浆和废墟中被找到。
“我们现在只能寄希望于能听到好消息，”萨马尔思在亚特兰大接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时说道。
他的父亲维韦克上周灾难发生时正在尼中边境地区。
萨马尔思回忆，父亲在最后一通电话中还和他开玩笑说，周围的河谷岩壁有多陡峭，还说：“你知道吗，如果我掉下去，肯定会被冲走的。”
就在这通电话结束几小时后，冰川冰、水和泥浆形成的海啸般的洪流席卷了边境的西藏边检站，维韦克从此音讯全无。

“最初听说这件事的时候，你知道，当时还想着，好吧，说不定到当天结束的时候，就能听到消息了。结果第二天来了，我们一整天都没收到任何消息。然后情况越来越糟，”他说。“随着记录在案的失踪人数不断增加，局势的严重性也开始显现——我们在社交媒体上看到了人们拍摄的灾难现场和所有发生过的一切的视频——我想就是从那时起，我们真正开始担心起来，意识到可能真的出了大问题。情况确实非常糟糕。”
从那以后，萨马尔思说，他的家人一直陷入“与日俱增的焦虑”之中。
“我们仍然抱有希望，觉得他可能没事——他能平安回来，可能在外面过得很好，”他说。“但问题是我们对此一无所知，这对我们来说太可怕了。”
洪水洪流及其裹挟搬运的一切最远扩散到了150英里外，进入了邻国印度境内。
在尼泊尔首都加德满都的最大医院外，一面墙上几乎贴满了从灾难现场找到的遇难者照片。附近一条小街上的另一面墙，周一也开始被这类照片覆盖。
这些是无名遇难者墙——上面的照片中有一些人很可能仍被列为失踪人员。

许多照片令人极度不适，但绝望的家属别无选择，只能上前仔细查看这些令人沉重的照片，乞求能获得任何关于失踪亲人的消息。
在佐治亚州的萨马尔思说，尽管尼泊尔方面以及美国国内没有提供任何信息，他仍在努力保持冷静。
“老实说，我从美国政府那里没听到多少消息，”他说。“我们真的别无他法，只能坐下来祈祷。”
其他有亲人失踪的美国家庭上周末告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，他们希望美国当局以及中国和尼泊尔政府能提供更多帮助。
周一，弗吉尼亚州的一个家庭告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，他们已经放弃了希望，现在开始为他们的父母哀悼，他们认为洪水发生时父母正在西藏。

Kathmandu, Nepal — Five days after a rocky mountainside and the glacier it supported collapsed near Nepal’s border with Tibet, unleashing torrents of flash floodwater, mud and debris on the valleys below that swept away everything in their path, rescuers were still searching Monday for reasons to hope.
Over the weekend, a 6-year-old girl was miraculously pulled from the mud-covered rubble, fueling hope that more of the 4,200 people still listed as missing in the wake of the disaster could be found alive.
Nepal’s national disaster agency said Monday that at least 903 people had been killed, and the fear is that the toll will spiral as recovery efforts continue along the scars carved into the landscape by the raging floods.
But the danger hasn’t passed. The sacred Trishuli River was surging again Monday, this time from heavy monsoon rains that have spurred search and rescue teams to try and move even faster to find anyone still alive in the ruins.

Samarth Srivastav was among the thousands of people desperately hoping a loved one might still emerge from the layers of thick mud and rubble in the Himalayan valleys.
“We’re just trying to hope for good news now,” Samarth told CBS News from Atlanta.
His father Vivek was on the Nepal-Tibet border when the disaster struck last week.
Samarth said his father joked with him on their last phone call about how steep the river valley walls around him were, saying, “You know, if I fall down there, like, I’ll get swept away.”
Just hours after the call, a tsunami of glacial ice, water and mud swept away Tibet’s immigration checkpoint on the border, and Vivek hasn’t been heard from since.

“Initially after hearing about it, you know, it was kind of like, okay, you know, maybe by the end of the day, you know? Might hear something back. And then the next day came and we didn’t hear anything all day. And then more and more,” he said. “As the number of missing people on record started to increase and, like, the severity of the situation actually started to hit, you know — we’re seeing all these videos pop up on social media of people recording the disaster and everything that actually happened — I think that’s when we actually started to get worried and realize that something might actually be wrong. This is actually a really bad situation.”
Since then, Samarth said it has been nothing but “increasing anxiety” for his family.
“We still have the hope that he’s probably okay — he’s able to come back, he’s probably doing fine out there,” he said. “But, it’s the fact we don’t know anything yet, is just so scary to us.”
The torrents of floodwater and everything they picked up and carried with them pushed as far as 150 miles away, into neighboring India.
At Nepal’s biggest hospital, in the capital Kathmandu, an outside wall has been all but covered in posters bearing the photos of bodies recovered from the calamity. Another wall, on a smaller street nearby, was starting to fill up Monday.
They are walls of the unknown dead — photos of some of the people still likely listed as missing.

Many of the images are deeply disturbing, but desperate family members have no choice but to step up to pore over the grim images, pleading for any information about missing loved ones.
In Georgia, Samarth said he was trying to keep calm, despite a lack of any information from officials in Nepal, or at home in the U.S.
“Honestly, I haven’t really heard as much from the U.S. government,” he said. “There’s not really much else we can do except just, like, sit and pray.”
Other American families with loved ones missing told CBS News over the weekend that they want more help from U.S. authorities, as well as the Chinese and Nepalese governments.
One family in Virginia told CBS News on Monday that they had given up hope, and they have now started mourning for their mother and father, who they believe were in Tibet when the floods hit.
