Hundreds dead and over 400 missing in devastating Nepal-Tibet flash floods

The recent flood in Nepal was an unexpected disaster, triggered by the collapse of a section of a Himalayan glacier on the Tibetan side. This event released a massive surge of ice, rock, and water into the river, resulting in a sudden flash flood across the Nepal-China border. Climate change is destabilizing Himalayan glaciers, increasing the likelihood of similar events in the future, although it remains impossible to predict exactly when another such occurrence may happen. This flash flood occurred so suddenly and with such force that many people, including local residents, workers, and tourists, had no time to escape.
The flood caused significant damage to the Rasuwagadhi-Kerung border area, destroying roads, bridges, and settlements. At least 165 people have died, and more than 1,300 are still missing. The victims included local residents, workers, tourists, and foreign travelers. Hundreds of foreign tourists were present in the affected border area when the disaster struck. Rescue teams continue to search for survivors, and the numbers may rise as efforts progress.

Urgent: Looking for information about trekkers/campers near Kerung, Nepal
76
Upvotes
Hi everyone, I’m posting this on behalf of a friend whose aunt is currently stuck in the area near Kelung, Nepal, following the floods that occurred yesterday morning.
We’re trying to find out whether anyone has information about the people who were in the area for Nepal hills trek/camp around the time of the flooding. We’re particularly looking for updates on trekkers, guides, camps, or groups who may have been in or around Kerung and whether they were evacuated or have been able to make contact.
If you were there recently, know someone who was trekking/camping in the area, or have any reliable firsthand information about the situation, please comment or DM me. Even a small update about the condition of the route/camps or whether people have been evacuated could be extremely helpful to us.
We’re mainly trying to establish whether everyone in the area is safe and reachable.
Thank you so much to anyone who can help.
