A devastating flood and landslides in Nepal’s Rasuwa district have left at least 750 people dead and over 3,000 missing, according to the latest updates. The disaster, which struck on August 26, has triggered urgent rescue operations as authorities and international teams work to locate survivors. A viral video showed two men arrested for allegedly stealing earrings from the body of a woman swept downstream, highlighting the chaos and loss of life.
Rescue teams have found a six-year-old girl still alive after three days trapped under rubble, a miraculous survival that has brought hope amid the tragedy. However, the situation remains dire, with many still unaccounted for and the risk of further flooding due to a newly formed artificial lake. Nepal has called for urgent international aid as the death toll continues to rise.
The disaster has also affected the border region with Tibet, where Chinese and Nepalese authorities report over 3,000 missing persons. Search efforts are ongoing, with no news yet on three Italian nationals among the missing. The region faces the threat of another flood, adding to the urgency of the rescue mission.
Authorities warn that the situation is worsening, with more casualties expected as the search continues. The scale of the disaster has overwhelmed local resources, prompting calls for global support to aid recovery efforts.
