Rescue teams waded through mud and scoured devastated zones on Thursday along the Nepal-Tibet border following catastrophic flash floods and landslides that swept away entire villages. The disaster was characterized by a tsunami-like rumble of water and mud that engulfed homes and tossed vehicles around.
While the exact count of missing and deceased persons varied across reports—with figures citing between 1,300 and 1,400 missing and death tolls ranging from at least 273 to at least 362—the disaster's severity prompted urgent ongoing search operations. Experts have further warned of the immediate risk of additional flooding in the affected region.
