Melting Glacier in Tibet Triggers Floods That Kill 362 Across Two Countries

A glacier in Tibet collapsed in late August 2026, sending walls of water and mud downhill into Nepal's rivers. At least 359 people died in Nepal and 3 in Tibet, with about 1,400 still missing across both countries, Al Jazeera reported on August 27. The floods show how mountain disasters in one country can strike another without warning.
