With 5,130 people still missing in Nepal and hundreds unaccounted for in China, families are scouring hospitals, contacting authorities and tracking digital clues for any sign their loved ones survived.

Every day since a torrent of mud and rocks destroyed a Nepal-China border crossing high up in the Himalayas last month, Arushi Gupta’s parents have called and messaged their missing daughter, hoping she somehow survived.
