750 Dead in Nepal-Tibet Floods
At least 750 people have been confirmed dead and more than 3,000 remain missing after severe flooding struck regions of Nepal and Tibet near the Chinese border, local authorities reported on Sunday. The disaster, triggered by intense rainfall, has inundated valleys and swollen rivers, prompting large‑scale evacuations and the activation of emergency response teams across both countries.
Rescue operations entered their fifth day on Sunday, hampered by continued heavy overnight rain and rising water levels that have made access to affected areas increasingly difficult. Authorities said hydropower workers are believed to be trapped in underground tunnels, complicating efforts to reach them. Officials continue to coordinate cross‑border assistance and monitor river conditions as they work to locate survivors and recover the missing.
