A massive mud-and-rock collapse in the Himalayas triggered catastrophic flooding across Nepal and China’s Tibet region on Wednesday, killing more than 390 people and leaving over 1,500 missing. Nepalese authorities confirmed the recovery of 392 bodies, while at least three deaths were reported in Tibet. The collapse struck a river and rapidly swept away valleys and settlements.
Nepal’s tourism department said 668 foreign trekkers from 34 countries are missing, including 177 Indians, 90 Americans, 34 Australians, 33 Britons and 25 Canadians. China said 100 Chinese citizens were among those missing in Nepal. In Tibet’s Gyirong County, 558 people, including 260 foreigners, were reported missing.
Destroyed roads and bridges have hindered rescue access, with helicopters evacuating survivors and delivering supplies. More than 5,000 Nepal Army personnel are involved, and 350 workers and residents trapped in the Upper Trishuli hydropower project tunnel were rescued alive. At least 15 hydropower projects were damaged, stopping about 431 megawatts of generation. The United States, United Nations, Canada, Australia and India have announced or provided assistance.
