A deadly flash flood in Nepal has claimed at least 95 lives, with hundreds of tourists reported missing, according to Nepali officials. The disaster struck in the mountainous region, where a sudden deluge triggered a catastrophic event. Among the missing are 340 foreign tourists, including 34 from Australia.
The flood, which occurred on the Himalayan border with China’s Tibet, caused a wall of mud and rock to collapse into a river. This led to widespread devastation, with at least 31 people confirmed dead. Emergency services are working to locate those missing, but conditions remain challenging.
Nepali authorities have confirmed the scale of the tragedy, with reports of multiple casualties and extensive damage to infrastructure. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of tourists in the region, particularly during the monsoon season.
Rescue operations are ongoing, but the remote location and difficult terrain are complicating efforts. The disaster highlights the vulnerability of mountainous areas to sudden weather changes.
