Satellite images trace Tibet-Nepal flood start
The massive floods that swept through wide areas of Nepal resulted from a huge influx of water from the Tibetan Plateau via the Bhote Koshi River, destroying buildings, bridges, and blocking main roads in Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts. Satellite images showed that rock and landslides from the Tibetan side caused powerful flood waves, expanding the flow of the torrents and turning them into deposits and silt that covered villages and facilities, especially in Betrawati Bazaar. Air rescue operations were conducted to evacuate hundreds of stranded individuals due to damaged roads and bridges, in cooperation between the Nepalese army and private companies. China also intervened by sending rescue teams and helicopters to support the efforts. Authorities intensified their response and raised the emergency alert after 165 people were killed and about 1,500 others went missing. Additionally, hundreds of bridges and main roads were destroyed.
