Richmond, Virginia (AP) Rescue workers continued on Sunday to pull survivors from the mud following the catastrophic flooding along the Nepal-China border on Wednesday that killed hundreds of people.

Amid the massive rescue operations, relatives of the more than 2,000 people authorities say are still missing were still holding out hope — however dim — that their loved ones survived.

Mukti Patel has been huddling with family and friends at her parents’ home in Richmond, Virginia, since her dad, sister and two other relatives went missing.
