Floods and mudslides destroy villages near Nepal-Tibet border
A disaster of floods and landslides has occurred along the border between Nepal and China, resulting in at least 165 deaths, with hundreds still missing, including foreign tourists of various nationalities. The floods have caused the loss of more than 826 people in Nepal alone, while rescue operations have been hampered by widespread damage caused by soil landslides triggered by avalanches and large-scale collapses, according to reports from the U.S. Geological Survey and local authorities. The primary cause of the disaster is attributed to a major glacier collapse that led to river blockages, with the death toll likely to rise as search and rescue efforts continue.
