More than a week has passed since the floods.

Many people died near the China-Nepal border.

We know little about the victims in China.

The floods killed over 1,000 people.

More than 4,500 people are missing.

This is true for both countries.

China has changed its death count only a few times.

Few people can go to the area.

Only top state media can go there.

China's state media do not show the names or faces of the missing people.

They do not show their families.

Instead, they show videos of help and rescue work.

At least 10 people in China are in trouble.

They wrote on social media.

They asked questions about the official story.

So they were detained or fined.

Nepal is very different.

Officials there update the lists of the dead and missing often.

Journalists write about the disaster.

Families who are sad are shown.

Nepal lets reporters visit the disaster places.

This is true for reporters from Nepal and from other countries.

China controls information very tightly in Tibet.

People watch communications there closely.

Chinese journalists must not talk to families of the dead or missing.

Human Rights Watch says this.

Some family members talk from outside China.

They use independent channels.

They use exiled media or social media.

They hope to find news about their loved ones.
