At 9am local time on Wednesday 26th August 2026, a major flash flood struck the Rasuwa district of northern Nepal, affecting villages near the border of Tibet, destroying homes, roads, bridges and buildings and damaging key infrastructure like power facilities.
According to local authorities at least 547 people have been killed with the death toll expected to rise as search and recovery efforts are still ongoing. Over 1000 people are thought to be missing on either side of the Nepal-Tibet border, with thousands also thought to have lost or suffered damage to their homes.
