Sudden floods along the Nepal-China border killed at least 165 people across both countries on August 26–27, 2026, washing away villages, roads, and bridges. Hundreds of foreign travellers are still missing. Floodwaters have cut off roads, so helicopters are dropping in help. Officials expect more deaths as searches continue. Nepal's disaster agency is leading the response.
