Nepal Floods Leave 90 Americans Missing | Charleston News

Nepal and Tibet are reeling from catastrophic flooding triggered by a massive Himalayan landslide and glacier collapse, with death tolls nearing 550 and nearly 90 Americans still unaccounted for—though three U.S. citizens have been confirmed safe. Over 3,700 people have been rescued, many via helicopter, including pilgrims en route to the sacred Mount Kailash, where the Isha Foundation reports 22 of its affiliated Americans missing. Initially misidentified as an earthquake, the disaster prompted President Trump to contact Nepalese leaders and the State Department to deploy a relief team and $500,000 in emergency aid for shelter and clean water as rescue efforts continue amid ongoing uncertainty.
