Nepal-Tibet Border Floods: 390 Dead, 1,400+ Missing

Flash floods along the Nepal-Tibet border have killed over 390 people, with more than 1,400 missing as of August 27, 2026. The floodwaters — a torrent of rock, ice, mud, and water — destroyed 25 miles of roads and 40 suspension bridges, stranding roughly 250,000 Nepalis. Rescue teams face near-impossible access in mountainous terrain, and the death toll is expected to climb.
