Devastating Nepal Floods: Hundreds Dead, Thousands Missing

Devastating flash floods struck Nepal on Wednesday, 26 August 2026, triggered by a glacial collapse in the Himalayas. Muddy floodwaters carrying rocks surged downstream, submerging villages along the Trishuli and Bhotekoshi Rivers. Panicked residents fled to higher ground as waters rose up to 9 meters within 30 minutes. Confirmed: 626 dead, over 2,400 missing, thousands of homes destroyed, bridges washed away. Rescue operations halted by severe weather. Rain-free disaster linked to climate change accelerating Himalayan ice melt. #NepalFloodsFlashFloodsClimateCrisisNaturalDisasterHimalayas
