Nepal Border Flood Death Toll Reaches 469, Nearly 1,500 Still Missing

Nepal police confirmed 469 deaths from an August 26 glacier-triggered flash flood along the Nepal-Tibet border, up from 157 two days earlier. Nearly 1,500 remain missing, including at least 700 foreign tourists and Indian pilgrims on the Kailash route. Two new lakes formed upstream, prompting Nepal and China to warn of further glacial outburst flood risks for downstream communities.
