A glacier-collapse flood along the Nepal-Tibet border has left at least 579 people dead in Nepal and seven dead in Tibet, with 2,478 people missing. 🌊
The disaster struck the Gyirong Port border crossing and nearby valleys on 26 August, destroying roads, bridges, communications and power links. Chinese rescuers who reached the crossing reported extensive ruin.
The toll includes hydropower workers, tourists and pilgrims travelling toward Mount Kailash. The Red Cross estimated that at least 93,000 people had been affected, while damaged transport links have complicated rescue and relief efforts. 🚁
Authorities are also monitoring debris-dammed lakes upstream of the crossing. One lake began overflowing, prompting warnings that renewed flooding could endanger responders and communities downstream. ⚠️
