Catastrophic flash floods across Nepal and Tibet have resulted in at least 750 confirmed deaths and over 3,000 individuals reported missing as of Sunday. The disaster, triggered by heavy rainfall, has caused river levels to rise significantly, complicating ongoing search and rescue efforts. Authorities have been forced to suspend operations multiple times since Friday due to persistent adverse weather conditions and safety concerns for rescue teams.

In response to the crisis, international aid efforts are underway, with Malaysia preparing to deploy its Special Malaysia Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (SMART) to support local operations. The situation remains fluid as responders attempt to navigate the hazardous conditions to reach affected areas and locate those still unaccounted for.
