A glacial-collapse disaster on the Nepal–Tibet border has left at least 804 people dead and 3,048 missing, according to the latest reported totals. 🌊
Nepal reported 788 deaths and 2,502 missing, while Chinese authorities reported 16 deaths and 546 missing in Tibet. Hundreds of foreign visitors and workers are among those unaccounted for.
Authorities warned of renewed flooding after water levels rose in the Bhotekoshi River. A newly formed upstream lake had largely drained, but an upstream crater holding an estimated 1.4 million cubic metres of water remained under monitoring. ⚠️
The 26 August collapse in Nepal's Langtang National Park sent ice, rock and water down mountain channels, creating a debris flow and flood that the USGS said travelled about 100 kilometres. Roads, bridges, homes and hydropower facilities were damaged.
Rescuers continued searches in mud and damaged valleys, including at the Trishuli 3A hydropower site, where workers were believed trapped in a tunnel. Recovery efforts remain constrained by flood risk and disrupted access.
