Floods and Landslides Near Nepal-Tibet Border Leave 469 Dead, 1,300+ Missing

Flash floods — sudden, fast-rising floods — and landslides struck the Bhotekoshi and Trishuli rivers near the Nepal-Tibet border on August 26. Police confirmed 469 deaths and over 1,300 people still missing. Experts think a glacier collapse may have caused it. The death count has tripled from 157 bodies found two days earlier.
