Nepal Border Flood: Death Toll Triples to 469, 1,500 Still Missing

Nepal police raised the death toll from an August 26 glacier-triggered flash flood along the Nepal-Tibet border to 469, up from 157 two days earlier. Nearly 1,500 remain missing, including 700 foreign tourists and Indian pilgrims on the Kailash route. Two new lakes formed upstream, prompting Nepal and China to warn of further glacial outburst flood risks for downstream communities.
