Catastrophic flooding along the Nepal–China border has killed hundreds and left thousands missing. Rescuers are racing to free workers trapped in hydropower tunnels buried in mud.

The Langtang Lirung glacier has collapsed, unleashing floods that have killed and displaced thousands along the Nepal‑Tibet border. A World Weather Attribution study finds climate change is a destabilising factor, with warming, glacier thinning and permafrost thaw preconditioning the slope, while a historic 2015 earthquake may have weakened the rock. July–August 2026 were the warmest on record in the region, intensifying meltwater and stress on mountain walls.
Rescuers have recovered four bodies from a flooded hydro tunnel in Chilime, with thousands still missing after floods triggered by a glacier collapse along the Trishuli River. Recovery work faces thick mud and damaged infrastructure as authorities push to speed up rescue and reconstruction efforts.
