Himalayas floods cause over 1,000 deaths
More than a thousand people have died as a result of glacial floods in the Himalayas, as rescue efforts continue to search for survivors, especially workers in the hydroelectric sector believed to be trapped inside tunnels beneath the rubble. The death toll in Nepal has reached 1,050, with over 3,916 missing, while China announced 16 deaths and 546 others are missing, bringing the total fatalities to approximately 1,066 with 4,462 missing. Rescue teams are working around the clock under harsh weather and difficult terrain conditions, continuously digging, blasting, and transporting bodies, amid declining hopes of finding survivors—especially after large amounts of water flowed into the tunnels, hampering search operations. Hundreds of bodies have been buried, some of which have been recovered by drones, while hope remains high of finding survivors among the thousands still missing. International efforts are underway to support rescue operations alongside local assistance in the affected areas.
