Catastrophic flash floods have struck Nepal and Tibet, leaving over 1,000 people missing, many of whom are tourists. As of Thursday, authorities have confirmed 165 deaths following the devastating inundation. The floods swept through valleys with immense force, completely destroying entire villages. Survivors describe a sudden surge of water, likened to a massive wave, overwhelming the region. The Guardian and Euronews report that search and rescue operations are underway, but hampered by the remote and rugged terrain. Preliminary reports suggest the disaster was triggered by heavy rainfall and glacial lake outbursts. Authorities continue to assess the full extent of the damage.
