@akefe01: On 26 August 2026, part of glacier collapsed high in the Himalayas, triggering catastrophic flooding along the Nepal-Tibet border. More than 390 people have been confirmed dæd while more than 1,500 remain missing across Nepal and China’s Tibet. What happened in Nepal? At about 8:40am local time (02:55 GMT) on Wednesday, flash floods and mudslides swept through mountainous areas along the Nepal-Tibet border. A huge surge of water, mud and rocks swept through the Lhende Khola river valley, engulfing villages and destroying homes and critical infrastructure. At least 19 bridges and about 40km (25 miles) of roads were washed away. Nepalese soldiers and rescue teams have been deployed with helicopters, drones and search dogs, but high river levels, damaged roads and mud have complicated efforts to reach some of the worst-hit areas. More than 5,000 Nepalese army and police personnel have joined the rescue effort. On Friday, Nepal News reported that the army had rescued about 350 workers and residents trapped in a tunnel at the Upper Trishuli hydropower project amid poor weather and high river flows. Across the border in Tibet, deep sediment has also delayed Chinese rescue teams trying to reach the border zone. #Nepal #Tibet #China #Floods
