Nepal Trishuli Debris Flow Toll Rises

Glacier collapse near the Nepal–China border triggered a debris flow that affected Nepal and Tibet. Recent figures put the toll at hundreds dead and thousands missing, with updated estimates ranging from about 788–903 deaths and 2,500–4,700 missing. The disaster has crippled infrastructure and overwhelmed hydropower sites, and hundreds of workers are reportedly trapped in flooded tunnels as rescuers race to reach them. Foreign nationals are among the missing, prompting international involvement and concern, including Chinese rescue experts joining operations. Authorities warn of renewed flooding and rising upstream water levels that could trigger further disasters, while weather and ongoing rainfall hinder recovery efforts. The situation remains dynamic, with new data and casualties continuing to emerge as search areas expand.
