Glacial Floods Claim Hundreds in Nepal-Tibet | Limerick News

Flash floods and landslides have unleashed devastation along the Nepal-Tibet border, swallowing villages and leaving over 1,300 people missing. A glacial collapse triggered a tsunami-like surge of water and mud, claiming 359 lives in Nepal and leaving 823 unaccounted for — including 540 foreign tourists. Two Irish nationals are among the missing, as rescue teams with sniffer dogs comb through mud-choked terrain while families search desperately for loved ones. In Tibet, three died and 558 remain missing as China deploys hundreds to aid recovery. The Red Cross is rushing supplies, while scientists warn of a looming second flood due to upstream blockages — a grim reminder of climate change’s growing threat to mountain communities and trekkers.
