The death toll from catastrophic flooding along the Nepal-China border has climbed to 489 following the severe overflow of the Bhotekoshi and Trishuli rivers. Dramatic new footage reveals residents trapped inside submerged homes as rapidly rising waters continue to sweep away houses, bridges, and critical infrastructure. Triggered by a massive Himalayan glacier break, the disaster has inflicted the heaviest casualties on Nepal’s Rasuwa, Nuwakot, and Chitwan regions. Across the border in China’s Tibet region, five people have died and 558 remain missing, though search efforts have resumed after a newly formed dammed lake briefly overflowed. Authorities have issued a stern warning that the unstable lake poses a “high” risk of triggering secondary floods in low-lying areas over the weekend.
