Nepal Flash Floods Claim Dozens | Charleston News

Nepal’s northern Rasuwa district is reeling from catastrophic flash floods and mudslides that have claimed at least 31 lives and left hundreds missing. Triggered by a sudden surge of the Bhote Koshi River, the disaster has destroyed homes, roads, bridges, and power infrastructure. While causes remain under investigation—possibly a glacier avalanche or earthquake-induced landslide—the chaos is compounded by rugged terrain and worsening weather. Rescue teams, including helicopters, are battling access challenges, while the U.S. Embassy and global nations scramble to locate their citizens among the displaced. China reports casualties on its Tibetan side and has launched its own search efforts. The situation remains volatile as authorities race to assess full damage and recover survivors.
