Nepal-China flood survivors reach safe areas as families await news of nearly 3,000 missing

Rescue operations are underway in the Himalayan region along the Nepal-China border following catastrophic flash floods that have left nearly 3,000 people missing. The disaster, which occurred days prior to Saturday’s reporting, involved a wall of water and debris that engulfed multiple villages, forcing survivors to flee with only the clothing they were wearing.

Authorities continue to search for survivors as the crisis enters its fourth day. While some individuals have reached safe areas, the scale of the destruction remains significant, with official figures indicating a sharp rise in the number of missing persons as recovery efforts persist in the buried communities.
