Girl, 13, among missing British citizens after flash flood in Nepal

A flash flood on the Nepal-Tibet border on Wednesday morning has resulted in over 400 travelers missing, including 33 British citizens, one of whom is a 13-year-old girl. The flood occurred on the Tibetan side of the Bhote Koshi River, with the 33 Britons being part of at least 341 foreign nationals unaccounted for. The group was reportedly crossing into Tibet from Nepal for a tour to Mount Kailash when the disaster struck. Verified videos show dozens of people being swept away, and significant destruction of infrastructure has been reported on the Nepali side. Authorities have recovered 157 bodies and are treating over 40 injured individuals.

Flash flooding on the Nepal-China border in Gyirong, Tibet, triggered by a 4.4-magnitude earthquake, caused devastating mudslides that engulfed buildings and forced people to flee. Authorities believe the earthquake led to an ice-rock avalanche into the Lhende Khola River. At least 95 people have died in Nepal, with 484 tourists reported missing, including at least three U.S. citizens. The U.S. State Department is monitoring the situation and assisting Americans. China has deployed rescuers, while India and the European Union have offered humanitarian aid and support. A potential second flood is a concern due to a river blockage.

An avalanche of ice and rock triggered massive flash floods in Nepal on Wednesday, killing at least eight people and leaving hundreds missing. The floods, which began around 9 a.m. and affected the Bhotekoshi River and its tributaries, destroyed villages, roads, and hydropower projects. Officials reported 384 tourists, including many from India, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Malaysia, as missing. The Nepali government has requested assistance from India and China for rescue efforts. Climate experts suggest the avalanche likely originated from a glacier, a phenomenon becoming more frequent in the warming Himalayan region.

A flash flood in Nepal has killed at least eight people and left hundreds missing, with authorities sending helicopters for rescue efforts. The flood, which swept away villages and damaged infrastructure, occurred in areas near Tibet. In Tibet's Gyirong county, "major casualties" were reported, with people missing after a mudslide hit a land crossing between China and Nepal. Officials stated that 384 tourists, including many from the UK, US, India, and Malaysia, are among the missing. Climate experts suggest a glacial lake outburst or an ice rock avalanche from a glacier may have triggered the flood. The Nepal Electricity Authority reported significant damage to power production and transmission facilities, disrupting electricity supply.

A massive flash flood in Nepal's Rasuwa district, bordering Tibet, has washed away villages and damaged roads, bridges, and power projects. The areas of Syapru Besi and Timure, home to approximately 50,000 people, were severely impacted. Authorities issued warnings on Wednesday, urging residents near the Bhotekoshi River to seek higher ground due to the risk of casualties. Police and officials are deploying resources and alerting the public, though the full extent of damage and potential casualties or property losses remains unknown.
