Nepal Floods Kill 903, Rescue Efforts Continue for Trapped Workers

Rescuers in Nepal are racing against time to free dozens of hydropower workers believed trapped in tunnels, as search efforts entered a sixth day on Monday following catastrophic floods that have killed more than 900 people and left thousands missing. The disaster, triggered by a glacier collapse on the China-Nepal border, has caused widespread destruction and severely impacted the country's energy infrastructure. The crisis began on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, when a torrent of ice, rock, and debris swept down a mountain valley.
