Nepal-Tibet floods kill 750, over 3,000 missing as rescue efforts face deadly conditions

Floods and landslides in Nepal and Tibet have killed at least 750 people and left over 3,000 missing. Rescue operations are hindered by heavy rain, rising rivers, and difficult terrain, with hundreds of workers trapped in hydropower tunnels. International aid and forensic teams are working to locate survivors and recover bodies.

The death toll from flooding in Nepal and Tibet reached 750, with over 3,000 people still missing, according to multiple outlets including The Insider, France24, and Times of India. The disaster was triggered by a glacier collapse near the China-Nepal border, leading to catastrophic floods and landslides. Nepal’s National Risk Reduction and Disaster Management Authority warned of rising river levels and the threat of further flooding, complicating rescue efforts. Hydropower plant workers are trapped in tunnels, requiring specialized international assistance.
