Nepal-Tibet Flood Kills 389, Over 1,200 Missing

A catastrophic flash flood triggered by a glacial collapse along the Nepal-Tibet border on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, has killed at least 389 people and left more than 1,200 missing, including hundreds of foreign tourists and pilgrims. The disaster, which sent a massive torrent of water, mud, and debris through mountain valleys, has devastated communities on both sides of the Himalayan border and prompted a large-scale international rescue effort. The flood was caused by the collapse of a glacier in the Himalayan region between Nepal and Tibet, which generated a seismic event and sent a powerful surge downstream.
