Nepal Floods Kill Over 900, Thousands Missing

In late August 2026, catastrophic floods and mudslides in Nepal have killed over 900 people, with more than 4,000 still missing, according to the country's disaster authority. Rescue efforts are ongoing, particularly at a hydropower tunnel where hundreds of workers are feared trapped. A thermal drone search found no signs of life in the tunnel, and 93 workers are confirmed missing there. The government's hesitation to accept foreign aid has drawn criticism, and the scale of the disaster has led to mass graves, breaking with Hindu cremation traditions.
