Glacier Flood Kills Hundreds on Nepal-Tibet Border

Flooding along the Nepal-Tibet border has killed at least 579 people as of August 28, 2026 — 538 in Nepal alone, The Hindu reports. Over 1,500 remain missing, per Al Jazeera. Scientists say a chunk of glacier broke off and blocked a river until it overflowed. Experts warn warming temperatures will cause more floods like this near mountain glaciers.
