Glacier Collapse on Nepal-China Border Kills at Least 734, Over 3,000 Missing

A glacier collapse in the Himalayas near Nepal's border with Tibet triggered floods and landslides along the Trishuli and Bhotekoshi rivers on August 26. As of August 30, Nepal's disaster authority confirms at least 734 dead and over 3,000 missing. Victims span more than 30 countries. The toll has climbed steeply across four days of rescue operations hampered by a barrier lake upstream.
