Flash Floods Kill 160 on Nepal-Tibet Border; Hundreds Missing

Flash floods struck Nepal's Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts on August 26, 2026, killing at least 160. Nepal's tourism ministry reports 403 missing — 341 foreigners from over a dozen countries, including 47 Americans and 100-plus Indian pilgrims. Scientists suspect a glacier ice detachment triggered the flood, consistent with growing Himalayan glacial hazards tied to climate change.
