Search continues for over 1,000 missing after Nepal-Tibet flash floods

Emergency crews are continuing search and rescue operations across the Himalayan border region between Nepal and Tibet following a catastrophic collapse of mud and rock that triggered severe flash flooding.

Nepali authorities reported that the local death toll has continued to climb, while Chinese officials confirmed fatalities in Tibet. More than 1,000 people remain unaccounted for, including hundreds of foreign tourists from countries such as the United Kingdom, India, Australia, and the United States.

The torrent destroyed vital infrastructure, washing away bridges, power projects, and entire settlements. Search operations remain heavily impeded by difficult weather conditions and the persistent threat of secondary landslides.
