Hundreds of people are still missing after a deadly flash flood struck the Nepal-Tibet border, with at least 157 confirmed dead. The disaster, triggered by an earthquake-induced landslide, devastated the region, washing away homes, roads, and infrastructure. The death toll continues to rise as rescue operations face challenges in the remote mountainous terrain.
Authorities in Nepal reported that over 400 people, including tourists and workers, are unaccounted for. Among the missing are hundreds of foreign visitors, with Australians and Irish nationals among those still in danger. Rescue teams are working tirelessly to locate survivors and recover bodies, but the scale of the disaster has made progress slow.
The flood, which hit the border area near China’s Tibet region, has raised concerns about the safety of travelers in the region. Emergency services are struggling to reach affected areas due to the difficult geography and ongoing weather conditions. The situation remains critical, with families and governments worldwide appealing for information on the missing.
International attention is growing as the humanitarian crisis unfolds, with calls for increased support and coordination in the rescue efforts.
