Floods Ravage Nepal China | Dallas News

Catastrophic flash floods have slammed Nepal and China, claiming over 540 lives with more than 1,500 still missing as rescue teams battle mud-choked terrain and airlift survivors to safety. Triggered by a massive rockfall beneath a Himalayan glacier, the disaster sent torrents of water and debris roaring downstream, devastating communities and sweeping away bridges and buildings. Fears of a dam burst from a debris-formed lake sparked high alerts, though officials later deemed the threat manageable. Among the missing are hundreds of foreign nationals—workers, trekkers, and pilgrims—and the U.S. is mobilizing aid to locate its citizens. With nearly 90,000 people affected, rescuers race against time in collapsed hydropower tunnels and remote valleys, determined to save every life still trapped under the flood’s muddy wreckage.
