Nepal Floods Kill 469; Thousands Still Missing

Sudden floods raced through Himalayan valleys on August 26, 2026, killing 469 in Nepal. Over 3,000 remain missing across Nepal and China's Tibet region. Nepal's count of missing people nearly doubled to about 1,900 by August 28. Scientists think a landslide burst a glacier, releasing a fast wave of water — like a dam breaking — with almost no warning, unlike seasonal rains.
