Nepal’s military airlifted heavy machinery by helicopter yesterday to an ‌under-construction dam high in the Himalayas as rescuers battled rising waters to reach workers in a tunnel, four days after catastrophic floods trapped them inside. The torrent of ice, rock and debris that swept down a mountain valley on the China-Nepal border on Wednesday killed … The post Nepal steps up rescue effort to reach hundreds trapped in tunnels appeared first on Ghanaian Times.

Nepal’s rescue teams, helped by Chinese and Indian experts, worked overnight to reach hundreds of people believed to be stuck inside blocked hydropower project tunnels in the aftermath of last week’s Himalayan flood that carved a trail of destruction in the country’s valley towns and villages as well as across the border in China. The unprecedented deluge of ice, rock, mud and debris on the Nepal-Tibet border on Wednesday, blamed on a glacier collapse, killed more than 900 people and nearly 5,000 are still missing. Hundreds of bodies, many unidentified, have been buried in shallow graves as they began decomposing in the humid weather in the plains of the Himalayan country after being swept down the mountains by the torrent. Nepali officials said that the focus was on reaching the hundreds of workers believed to be trapped inside about half a dozen hydropower project tunnels that had been blocked by mud and rock debris. Pictures and videos shared by rescue teams showed earth-moving equipment digging and shovelling mud and rocks under lights in the dark of the night as workers watched. Soldiers used torchlight in a big pit they had created to look for space to get into one tunnel. A rescuer works at the entrance of a tunnel at Chilime Hydropower Plant as rescue operations continue for people trapped inside following deadly flash floods and a mudslide, in Rasuwa, Nepal on August 29, 2026. —AFP Nepal’s disaster management authority said that 933 people were missing from hydropower projects in the flood-hit region. The Red Cross has estimated that more than 90,000 people are likely to have been affected by the disaster, which China has linked to the effects of climate change. On Monday, Nepali authorities said 903 people had died, with 4,247 missing, including the 933 at hydropower projects. On the Chinese side, authorities said 16 people were killed in Gyirong County and 546 were missing. Complete assessment of damage challenging, Nepal PM says “A large amount of debris has been deposited, and that is posing us a big challenge to open the tunnels,” Nepal army spokesperson Raja Ram Basnet told Reuters. Our main focus is on opening the tunnels. Prime Minister Balendra Shah said the flood was an unprecedented and devastating natural disaster and it remained challenging to compile a complete assessment of the damage. Despite the adverse weather, difficult terrain and continuing risks, we are moving forward with determination to save the lives of our citizens, he said in a Facebook post late on Sunday, adding that nearly 21,000 security personnel were involved in the rescue operations, besides civilian workers and volunteers. Chinese President Xi Jinping, on a visit to Kyrgyzstan, said Beijing is making every effort to search for missing people following the disaster, Xinhua reported on Monday. Beijing has said 261 foreign nationals from 23 countries were unaccounted for in Tibet, near a key border crossing with Nepal. China’s state-run CCTV reported Beijing has mobilised more than 2,100 rescue workers and allocated at least 220 million yuan to support relief efforts and has been airdropping equipment and supplies to frontline rescuers while its soldiers used life-detection equipment to look for the missing. Risk from lakes and landslides Although Nepal has said that it does not need foreign help in general rescue and search, it has leaned on giant neighbours India and China for their expertise in tunnel rescue. Rescue operations have been suspended several times since Friday because of bad weather and concerns that a lake formed across the Nepal-China border by the disaster could trigger fresh flooding after it began overflowing into Nepal’s rivers. China’s state television CCTV said that another lake formed upstream by a landslide had largely drained as water flowed out naturally. The landslide occurred 2.8 km downstream from the first lake formed by debris of the glacier collapse. Authorities are now monitoring an impact crater carved out near the site of the glacier collapse on the Nepalese side, which had expanded to 174,000 square metres by Saturday evening, state media said. Ayush Khadka’s mother Monac Khadka mourns during her son’s cremation in the aftermath of flash floods, in Nepal’s Chitwan district on August 31, 2026. —AFP The crater had an estimated reservoir of 2.5 million cubic metres, which if breached, could lead to a chain reaction to lakes further downstream, authorities warned. CCTV said there is risk of further landslides along the river that could create additional lakes, as investigators identified eight high-risk locations for geological disasters. The flood was “caused by glacier instability under the long-term effects of global warming”, the state broadcaster reported, saying it was a “new and prominent feature of cryosphere disasters” on the Tibetan plateau. Two Nepali officials told Reuters that China had not shared much information on glacier risks and water levels following a meeting to strengthen cooperation earlier this year, and they feared that a lack of data sharing could hamper future disaster preparedness. China’s foreign ministry did not respond to a request for comment on the meeting.

The hot and humid weather is causing the bodies of the victims to decompose quickly, causing difficulties in the identification process.

The Nepal Disaster Risk Management Agency announced today, Monday, that the death toll from the floods that hit the country last week has risen to over 900 people. Authorities have intensified rescue efforts following the catastrophic floods that hit Nepal and Tibet, resulting in the deaths of at least 900 people and the disappearance of over 4,700 others.

« Les gens veulent absolument retrouver leurs proches, morts ou vif » : au moins 682 morts au Népal et au Tibet, près de 3.000 personnes toujours recherchées REUTERS. Les secouristes ont redoublé d’efforts samedi pour localiser quelque 3.000 disparus et évacuer les rescapés encore isolés à la frontière entre le Népal et la Chine, trois jours après la terrible crue qui a fait près de 700 morts et englouti des villages entiers. « Toutes les habitations près de la rivière ont été emportées. Il ne reste plus rien », a résumé pour l’AFP Buddhi Ram Dangol, un Népalais de la vallée ensevelie. Selon les bilans officiels encore très provisoires, un total de 682 corps, 675 côté népalais, sept sur le territoire chinois du Tibet, ont été exhumés depuis mercredi de l’épaisse couche de boue et des décombres des bâtiments, routes, ponts et chantiers balayés par la vague. Sept corps retrouvés à des dizaines de kilomètres en aval, dans le nord de l’Inde, en cours d’identification, pourraient rejoindre la liste des victimes de la catastrophe. Le travail des sauveteurs est lent, difficile, épuisant, a décrit un sauveteur de la sécurité civile népalaise, Kawan Koirala. « Les gens veulent absolument retrouver leurs proches, morts ou vifs, mais on n’y arrive pas (…) regardez toute cette boue », a-t-il confié à l’AFP, fourbu après dix-huit heures de travail sans interruption. « C’est très perturbant pour moi aussi. C’est la première fois que je vois ça. » Experts et scientifiques attribuent la catastrophe à l’effondrement d’un énorme glacier qui a transformé en un instant une paisible rivière en un fleuve en furie. Dans les régions sinistrées, les autorités peinent à retrouver la trace de quelque 3.000 personnes – 2.426 au Népal et 556 côté chinois – dont elles sont sans nouvelles depuis mercredi.

Death toll from Nepal-China border flash floods climbs to 586  nhk.or.jp

Rescuers in Nepal and China were still battling on Saturday to locate thousands of people missing days after a deadly, tsunami-like wall of water and debris swept through the Himalayan region, engulfing villages. The number of missing soared close to 3,000 on Saturday, latest figures from both countries showed, with 633 bodies recovered — and reports of some dead possibly swept downstream as far away as India. In an area home to vast energy infrastructure projects, Nepal’s disaster authority added 933 hydropower workers to a missing persons list already including trekkers and pilgrims to Tibet’s sacred Mount Kailash. Those that made it out say they have lost everything and now face an agonising wait to discover the fate of missing loved ones, and the prospect of rebuilding their lives from nothing. A man takes pictures in front of damaged buildings after flash floods and a mudslide, in Trishuli, Nuwakot district, Nepal, August 29, 2026. — Reuters “All the settlements near the river were swept away. There is nothing left,” survivor Buddhi Ram Dangol told AFP. Samjhana Thing said she had been waiting three days for news of her missing brother. “We don’t know anything. Hopefully he is in a safe place,” she said. ‘Enormous’ trauma The trauma of Wednesday’s catastrophe has been “enormous”, and as many as 93,000 people may have been affected, the Red Cross said, with the death toll expected to rise. Emergency teams had been racing to retrieve survivors from affected zones, where the widespread devastation meant food and water supplies were running out. Compounding the search for the missing have been fears of further flooding in affected areas. The deluge of ice and mud caused huge lakes to form, and one of these formations has become a direct threat to emergency workers scouring the region for survivors. Children displaced by flash floods and a mudslide rest inside a relief camp in Trishuli, Nuwakot district, Nepal, August 29, 2026. — Reuters Nepali police urged all rescuers to “immediately move to a safe location”, saying they had received information that “a water dam has burst again on the Tibetan side”. In Tibet, where Chinese authorities are the only source of information, Beijing suspended its rescue operation at the hardest-hit area of Gyirong over the risk of renewed flooding, before saying the threat had eased. State news agency Xinhua reported early on Saturday morning that two villagers had been rescued in the area. ‘All swept away’ On the Nepali side of the border, the military located people trapped in the tunnel of the Trishuli 3A hydropower project, where they were working to find a way in to extract the survivors. “Two helicopters have been dispatched, but it is challenging because it is tough to even locate the entry points of the tunnel,” army spokesman Raja Ram Basnet told AFP. Rescuer load relief material in a helicopter to be transported to the areas affected by flash floods and a mudslide as it drizzles at the Maithali Barrack, an army training center, in Trishuli, Nuwakot district, Nepal, August 29, 2026. — Reuters Some 350 workers and residents have been brought to safety from the site, he added, but efforts were ongoing to rescue more than a hundred trapped in the same area. Workers rescued from other dam projects along the Trishuli valley described a disaster that unfolded with terrifying speed. Buddha Tamang told AFP he survived only because he was inside a tunnel at the dam where he worked when the flood struck. “The senior officers working on the other side, they were all swept away,” Tamang, who was airlifted on Thursday after being marooned for more than 24 hours, told AFP. Nepal reported a death toll of 626 people on Saturday. There are 2,426 people, including hundreds of foreigners, who are out of contact in Nepal. Across the border in Tibet, which is largely inaccessible to foreign journalists — seven people died and 554 remain missing, the state Xinhua news agency reported early Saturday. Authorities also said they had evacuated 555 stranded tourists and 499 Chinese residents from Tibet.

Le bilan s’alourdit : au moins 633 morts et près de 3.000 disparus après la crue dans l’Himalaya Photo d’illustration. - REUTERS Les secouristes redoublent d’efforts samedi pour rechercher quelque 3.000 disparus et évacuer les rescapés bloqués à la frontière entre le Népal et la Chine, trois jours après la terrible crue qui a fait au moins 633 morts et laissé un paysage de dévastation. « Toutes les habitations près de la rivière ont été emportées. Il ne reste plus rien », lâche Buddhi Ram Dangol, un rescapé rencontré par l’AFP côté népalais. Le désastre, dans cette région prisée des alpinistes et pèlerins, a fait au moins 633 morts à ce stade – 626 au Népal selon l’autorité en charge des situations d’urgence, et sept côté chinois –, sans compter sept corps repêchés très loin en aval, en Inde, dont la provenance n’a pas été confirmée. Au Népal, le nombre de disparus a fait un bond samedi de 1.924 à 2.426 d’après la même source, dont 933 employés de centrales hydroélectriques, pour toujours 517 étrangers, dont trois Belges, sur le total. S’ajoutent 554 personnes qui manquent à l’appel en Chine, dont 260 étrangers. L’Institut d’études géologiques des Etats-Unis (USGS) a expliqué que ce cataclysme, survenu mercredi, avait été provoqué par l’effondrement d’un glacier, déclenchant une vaste coulée de débris glacés qui a tout ravagé sur son passage. Selon la Croix-Rouge, jusqu’à 93.000 personnes pourraient avoir été affectées par cette catastrophe. Alors que les chances de retrouver des survivants diminuent, les secouristes redoublent d’efforts pour atteindre les zones touchées, où les dégâts compliquent les livraisons de vivres et d’eau. Le tout sous le risque de nouvelles inondations. Ce déluge de glace et de boue a entraîné la formation d’immenses lacs qui risquent de déborder ou céder, dont l’un constitue une menace directe pour les secouristes. Vendredi, les opérations de secours avaient été perturbées aussi bien du côté népalais que chinois en raison d’alertes liées à de possibles coulées, levées par la suite. Au Népal, le nombre de disparus a fait un bond samedi de 1.924 à 2.426, pour toujours 517 étrangers sur le total. Par AFP Le 29/08/2026 à 07:59
