Nepal-Tibet border floods kill hundreds and leave over 1,400 missing FAST-MOVING

Devastating flash floods and landslides triggered by a glacial collapse have struck the border region between Nepal and Tibet, causing massive casualties and destruction. Reports indicate at least 390 deaths and over 1,400 people missing across the affected areas. The disaster has heavily impacted the Bhotekoshi and Trishuli river valleys, destroying villages, roads, bridges, and hydropower infrastructure.

A significant number of the missing are foreign tourists and pilgrims, including hundreds from India, the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and other nations. Many were reportedly traveling toward the sacred Mount Kailash and Manasarovar Lake.

Rescue operations are ongoing, involving the Nepalese army, local police, and private helicopter operators. The United States has pledged US$500,000 in humanitarian aid to support emergency response efforts. Authorities have warned of further risks as natural dams formed by debris pose a threat of secondary flooding.
