Floods triggered by a glacier-and-bedrock collapse near the Nepal–Tibet border have killed 469 people in Nepal, police said Friday. More than 1,300 people remained missing. 🌊
The torrent swept through mountain communities and routes used by trekkers and pilgrims. Roads and bridges were badly damaged, slowing searches and leaving some areas hard to reach.
Rescuers now face a second hazard: debris has formed a lake that may breach and send more water downstream. China paused operations at the Tibetan epicentre after the lake began overflowing toward a rescue route. ⚠️
The Nepal Army was trying to rescue about 100 people trapped in a hydropower tunnel, while relief agencies assessed wider needs. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies estimates about 93,000 people may have been affected and has launched an emergency appeal.
