Floods in Nepal and Tibet cause dozens of deaths
Nepal and the Tibet region experienced a sudden flood incident that resulted in over 98 deaths and hundreds missing, causing widespread destruction of villages and infrastructure, including homes, roads, bridges, and power stations. The flood was triggered by rising waters of the Bothe Kushi River, which were linked to the release of meltwater from a glacier lake last year; however, the final cause has not yet been determined. Areas such as Siabro Bisi and Timumori were heavily affected, with significant damage to the energy sector. Authorities announced rescue efforts involving the deployment of helicopters and relief teams, with hundreds still missing, especially among tourists and local residents. China also recorded flood and landslide incidents in Tibet, resulting in fatalities and missing persons. Chinese leadership has called for search and rescue operations. The phenomenon is associated with increased intensity and frequency of floods due to climate change.
