Taiwan has offered Nepal help with rescue and rebuilding after a deadly Himalayan flood, a small piece of good news in a disaster that has killed hundreds.

• A glacier collapse on Nepal's border with China sent rock, ice and mud crashing down river valleys on the 26th.
• More than 600 people are dead and over 2,400 are missing.
• Taiwan's foreign ministry passed on condolences and an offer of aid through its office in India.
• No Taiwanese citizens are known to be caught up in the flooding, and Nepal has not yet asked Taiwan for help.
• Taiwanese charities have already started their own relief drives.

Outlook: Taiwan's government says it is ready to send support the moment Nepal asks, while the search for the missing continues.
