Nepal-Tibet border flood kills 157, many missing
A catastrophic flash flood has killed at least 157 people in the border region between Nepal and the Chinese Tibet area. Reports indicate that the number of missing persons has reached 484, including citizens from India, Nepal, the United States, and Britain. The direct causes of the disaster have not yet been confirmed, but there are indications that it may be related to an earthquake that occurred minutes before the flood. It is suspected that the earthquake triggered a glacial collapse, leading to a massive surge of water and debris. The disaster has caused widespread damage to infrastructure, cutting off roads and electricity. Warnings have also been issued about secondary flooding resulting from water accumulation and retention in the Lendi River basin, with residents advised to stay away from the rivers. Rescue efforts continue to face logistical challenges due to debris buildup, while international and local rescue teams are working to evacuate residents and provide aid.
