65 Americans Missing in Catastrophic Flash Flooding in Nepal and China
At least 9 people were killed and more than 1,300 were missing after flash floods and mudslides swept communities along the Nepal-China border, officials said.
- Catastrophic flash floods along the Nepal-China border killed at least 353 people on Wednesday, leaving more than 1,300 missing as rescue teams searched Thursday through communities devastated by a deadly torrent of water and mud.
- Climate experts at the Kathmandu-based International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development confirmed a magnitude 5.2 glacier collapse triggered the disaster, causing Trishuli River water levels to surge 27 feet in half an hour on Wednesday.
- The National Tourism Board reported 517 foreigners missing, including 65 from the United States and 178 from India, while 77 pilgrims were caught at the border, many on religious pilgrimages to Mount Kailash.
- Airlifted survivors are arriving at the Maithali Barrack, an army training center serving as the Nepali Army's primary base for rescue operations, where medical teams provide first aid to those recovered from the mud.
- Melting glaciers pose an escalating threat to the Himalayan region, experts warn, as human-caused climate change accelerates glacier collapse; the area experienced similar devastating floods in August 2025.
